The heat issue is only really an issue on the hotter days and if you are co-driving. I've had my brakes hot enough to cause fluid fade in auto-x but that only happened once and that was after doing 3 back to back runs after several other runs (co-driving and then a re-run). The issue with heat is that it shifts the brake bias even more rearward which the ABS controller doesn't deal with very well.
