Does anyone have any tips for tracking a PCCB'ed car? I know they can easily destroy them.

Things that I have picked up:

• Ensure the pads have plenty of meat left on them
• Ensure you take advantage of the cooling off lap and don't park with the handbrake on
• GT3 brake ducts might help

Anything else?

Nobody say swap them for steels smile

Which version of PCCBs?

As I understand it, the key is to manage the heat build up...

There's certainly no harm in fitting the bigger ducts - they're not hugely expensive from an OPC so long as you avoid the massive 2-part GT2 ones.

Staying out of the gravel is even more important with ceramics and keep a close eye on them if you've run over anyone else's gravel.

Not had a visit to the gravel at any track days yet (not in the Porsche) so hoping that continues.

Does mildly worry me that I'll be fitting larger ducts therefore larger gravel scoops smile
