Started Sunday's trackday at Donington everything fine. As the day progressed my brakes became worse and worse, juddering until the car was not drivable towards the end on the day. Now on the road I can brake from high speeds numerous times getting the brakes hot with no judder what so ever. Anyone else ever experienced anything similar

They probably just got too hot at Donny. I doubt you'd get the same temperatures on the road even driving like wellformed laugh

The pads were new RS14 earlier in the week and the bedding in process had been followed. If it was uneven pad transfer then surley it would be still juddering now

If you were braking very hard at Donny,it could well have been you ABS.

This is what I suspect has happened. Problem is next time I do a trackday will the warp again?
