Race brake fluid

[Gilliesobt]

Do I need to use race brake fluid in my Gen 2 RR? Ive done quite a few track days and not had problems, but my speeds are going up, my braking fiercer, so seeking advice.

Are you getting any fade?

No

Regular maintenance will suffice most of the time. Keep bleeding them and cycling the older stuff out.

If you want to try a new one, I like LCF600 from Brembo

^ agree with Alex. J

Problem with Race Fluid is it requires regular changes.

If you are getting no fade, they don't change unless normal maintenance or brake harder

When I used to race/trackdays/euro I used normal fluid with no problems, just regular change.

Race brake fluids, such as Motul RBF 660 or Castrol SRF, have significantly higher boiling points (both dry and wet) than standard or even DOT 4 fluids. This prevents brake fade caused by fluid boiling during heavy or prolonged braking.
