I don't know why but I can't seem to finish any races without brake failure
occuring. I have even tried doubling the brake duct size and reducing
pressure by 10%.

What the hell am i missing here???

Thanks,

Moe

Do you overlap throttle and brake a lot?  Also, how much front bias do you
run?

I typically run brake ducts at 3 for a race and 1 for qual, 80% brake
pressure, 62% front brake bias.  I keep my foot off the throttle when
braking, carry the brakes slightly into the turn and hardly overlap at all
as I add throttle.  No problems so far.

    Change your damage setting from 'time scaled' to normal or off.  You
are seeing brake wear from 100% of the race scaled down to 10 laps.

Thank you. I should've caught on to that.
