Default BRAKE QUESTIONS!!!!

Hey, I was curious, about brakes and how hot they get. If braking from a certain speed like in normal street driving will increase the temperature to a certain degree... will braking from twice the speed like in a road race also increase the temperature by twice the one in normal driving? Or if not how would it be affected, obviously it will be hotter, but by how much? Any expert racers or brake experts out there who'd know this? Thanks, Suke.

Just thought of this, since you are braking from twice the speed, in the same amount of space, you'll brake so damn quick, that the pads won't get any hotter???
