this conversation was a while ago, so i'm not 100% sure if that was the correct context.

that being said, i just picked up a gt4 splitter and i'm going to expiriment with ducting. my brakes are great, but if it helps with pad life, ducting might be a good addition.
Easily solved during caution/pace laps by dragging the brakes with the throttle on intermittently during the caution/pace lap and for the 10-15 seconds before the green flag drops; this conveniently gets your right foot to the floor faster on starts/restarts as well

Too much brake cooling is a thing, but not with any iron-rotor equipped vehicle I've been around unless in presence of user error
