I thought I would start a new thread specifically for the Mach1 on track days. I looked for one but this topic is spread out all over.
Spent a day at Mission Raceway (Canada, BC, Mission). Dry & hot. The track is not ideally suited for the Mach1 but fun but also unforgiving (loads of concrete walls) if you go over your limit.
Brake Pads - I did upgrade my front stock Brembo brake pads to Ferodo DS1.11. These are ideally suited for the track and not street but I find that if I am gentle with my foot when on the street they work just fine. They for sure are more efficient than the Brembo's - better stopping power. Not sure if I should be upgrading my rotors but will do this once they have worn out.
Tires - I put my used Michelin Sport Cup 2's back on (305/30/19 Front & 315/30/19 Rear) and comparing to the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R (305/30/19 all around) they just stick better.
I measured the temp on my rotors after a session and got over 450 deg C (842 deg F). They were smoking...
