Since I am a beginner, can you guys give me some tips/hints on how to identify brake fade/failure and what I should do if I do recognize it while I'm on the track? Thanks
Softening pedal and increased ABS intervention are the primary two indicators. Problem is once you get that you may only have 2 corners before things go horribly wrong. You won't really know except with experience whether what you had was just routine issues or an actual problem.
