With the motul I would do the track day, daily the car then if I did another track day it would be soft after only 3 laps at a time. So I started to change the motul fluid before every track day . The Castrol srf was solid through the track day and fine daily. It's much better at dealing with the heat. I plan to change the fluid once a year now, instead of multiple.

    Have you noticed a ticking noise that increases/decreases (depending on how fast your going) since you have fitted the godspeed front discs? I've also noticed it quietens down/stops the ticking noise when I apply the brakes (in my case) - presumably when the pads are making contact with the disk... I had my discs & pads fitted about 1-2k miles ago roughly, it's still noticeable in my case.
