If you have to brake in a strong way several times, at the end of 8 or 9 times, they fade... But it is the case with the small brakes ( 296 mm ), the larger brakes ( 320 mm ) are good enough.
On the 16th of June, with one of my friend's Alpine. As mine couldn't have fun because of the too weak brakes. That was a fun day. 4 hours, 2 in the morning, two in the afternoon. A bit exhausting, because of the heat, but hey... We cannot really complain...
If your brakes are too weak .. brake less . Can't wait for the new electric Alpines, having fun draining the battery on the racetrack .... in 15 minutes ... héhéh. I hereby enclose a picture of my 2010 7900rpm manual NA Alpine ;-) ...
