Run nothing less than Motul RBF or Castrol SRF brake fluid.

The most important temperature you need to be concerned with your brakes... is the Caliper temperature.

The rotors get 1000+ F with track use.

As long as the CALIPER (that holds the fluid) remains below the boiling point of your fluid, you're good. This is why TI shims behind your brake pads are so effective.

...Most people jump out of their cars to open the hood, or check tire pressure.
I, on the other hand, measure caliper and rotor temps. If rotors are still 700+ after cool down lap then i drive a mile around the paddock to cool some more.
