Default Help! I need your PDR files

Hi gang,

I need some folks that will share their PDR files with me so I can compare braking technique. Right now they are suggesting that the reason my brakes have boiled is because of driver input. I don't think that's the case, but I need data to prove it.

I'm looking for data from the following tracks:

NJMP - Lighting
Watkins Glen
Summit Main
Pocono North

Ideally you will be on Stock calipers/rotors/pads/ but with SRF, and/or Carbotech XP20/10 combo and SRF.

Any and all help will be appreciated.

Sent you a PM with links to PDR videos from the Glen. I forgot to mark the start/finish line so they are all just one long lap. Not a lot of PDR data to analyze.

What technique or input are they saying is incorrect?

They can't find a problem with the system driving around, which makes sense, so they are assuming I am doing something when braking i.e. riding the brakes, that is causing too much heat to build up which cooks the SRF, which is very hard to do.

I spoken with the manufacturer of the pads, and their POV is I just need more cooling for the way I am driving. I don't disagree, but I know many people are using the XP20/10 combo on a stock setup without issue. I just need data to compare my driving against.

I have one of Poor-sha's files, but he's on AP racing kit and different pads. From the data, it looks like we are on the brakes for roughly the same amount of distance, except when he trail brakes through turn 1. We are both also about 149-152mph on the front straight.

Stock (B) vs AP racing w DSUNO I think (O) same day



Next is me when they went out vs me last year


CT XP20/10 '16 (B) Stock (O) '15
