Repeated pounding on the brakes between shorter distances even from lower speeds is far more punishing in terms of heat build-up.
Not try to disrepect; very wrong which I have found out. Thats the only track where my brakes managed to fade as opposed to some of the more challenging tracks in the UK e.g. three sisters or bedford..all I saying is that you should get your dealer to check it out!
