20 min? I am lucky to get 5 minutes with race pads and the Motul.

i usally experience brake fade after 3-4 laps if i drive it over 95%. Life of the non brembos. If I was the riding the brakes, I don't think I can accelerate as I am a right foot braker

What pads are you using?

While the non-brembos need serious attention, I think it may be possible to get them to last a full session with the right combination.

It's not so much the pads, I boiled the fluid. I found the Motul to be not much better than the OEM Nissan. I was getting much better result with the Wilwood.

I use the XP10, great pads, no complaints
