What I have recently learned from that speed is to brake HARD, like being thrown forward in your seat. It actually delays the heat build cycle in the brakes But make sure all braking is done in a straight line and working through the gears for the turn. End of August I did track days at NCM Motorsport, and only used 3rd 4th and a tad of 5th gear. I think (so much going on) I got down to 3rd going through the gears. And heel-toe, what's that, was too busy learning everything else. Most turns were 3rd gear.
