Give that man a raise

We had some EMF at this event on the frequencies we use (and have used for some time) for the mic packs. Unfortunately, it didn't get picked up till afterwards, but we will double-check this specifically when we're back for the next round in the future - Taz.

It's more about thermal management than outright stopping power. OEM brakes simply cannot handle the heat generated in a motorsport application nor are they designed to - Taz.

You’re correct but you need to consider heat dissipation and rate. So while you can lock up your wheel, how long can you transfer kinetic into heat before the heat becomes too much and you loose braking

Can't think of a modern-ish car that doesn't have ABS, but even without that, the increase in brake torque required for slicks may make it difficult for some vehicles. I don't think you meant "modulate" - or most of the rest of that sentence, as it doesn't make any logical sense. Maybe if you re-wrote it?

@@gordowg1wg145 the point was small brakes still develop way more torque than Rcomps have friction. I did mean modulate. The driver of a car with properly sized braking hardware for racing has lots of options, with a huge amount of adjustability in the force of the brake pedal, and pad clamping force. There are many ways to write things, its abusive (gaslighting, for one) and discriminatory to discredit someone else, especially when it's your reading comprehension issue.

@@mm6705 Uh, are you SURE you want to stick to that? For example, equating "small brakes", what-ever that's supposed to mean, (braking?) torque, and "Rcomps"(again, whatever that's supposed to mean), which are three different things, like it's supposed to be relevant to anything... It's certainly good for a laugh, but you REALLY don't have any idea what you're talking out in either post - it reads like something a kid would write who had read some car 'comics' and understood nothing. It is true there are many ways of writing things - but those ways have to be logical, easily read and comprehended, and consistent with facts and evidence if claiming engineering or scientific relevance. It's not discriminatory to call out someone who is making claims that are illogical and incorrect. I did not "discredit" you - you did that yourself by what you wrote. Now, do you wish to revise what you have been writing, or do you wish to admit you are foolish so we can move on?

@@mm6705 Sorry, forgot - the primary problem with modulation is the pad-disc characteristics - while some combinations have a relatively straight line CoF, others can be quite "grabby" in that the initial brake torque is greater than the nominal CoF and applied force on the pads would suggest, others can be "sicky" where a reduction of the applied pad force doesn't reduce the brake torque as much as would be expected - ie, they don't have linear CoFs.

There does seem to be some set-ups that would seem to be unbalanced - but usually bigger front brakes are used with better tyres, which can offer more front load transfer and so more potential to use better front brakes. Pad characteristics - the CoF vs temperature - may be a relatively easy way to balance the brakes when a proportioning valve, or pedal box, isn't practical or legal.

Yeah, that's how you get worse braking performance with bigger brakes, not uncommon. Brake balance is very very important to get shortest brake distance.

MD of Alcon used to be MD of AP racing , he just got tired of AP and set up on his own . Their both as good as each other just so do more products

Leveraging the knowledge of industry experts is a smart move, and is what they are there for 😎 As mentioned there is a crossover between Alcon and AP, and they both benefit from having each other around to push each other as top-tier competitors 😎 This is a great podcast episode if you are keen on a bit more insight into that world: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrOSgtCJv9rQe6M.html - Taz.

@@hpa101 I used Essex parts here in the USA to do mine. They made several kits so everyone has an oportunity to get the same upgrades as I did on my 370z.
