So I was driving at Sonoma raceway last Saturday. In the 4th session, after 3 laps, I noticed heavy white smoke in my rear view mirror after T7, with burning smell. So I immediately pitted.
Initially I was worried if it’s engine issue, like blown gasket. Had some visual check and everything looks normal, no leaks, no spills, oil pressure and oil temperature were within the normal range.
Later the driver behind me came and told me that my brake was smoking, I recalled that the burning smell was indeed brake so I was relieved.
Checked brake pads and rotors today and didn’t see anything suspicious. So I guess it was just overheating. I’m running stock rotors and pads. Has anyone experienced similar issue? Should I be concern about this? Really appreciate your inputs!
