great reading material

Tech article from Pop. hot rod mag

the brake bible i don't know how legit this author is, but its interesting

sry for my previous harsh response

The brake's only purpose is to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy and dissipating it. When your brakes are warm before stopping, its just that much less energy they're capable of removing. The disk can only handle so much heat at a time, and then you feel brake fade.

Back in the day, bake pads had resin in them that would vaporize when they were extremely hot, it could be trapped between the pad and the disk and limit friction. Cross drilling gave the gas a place to go, also lightened and weakened the disk

Now days, pads aren't made like that, no gases, but they do transfer heat to the caliper now, and like Jason said, this causes boiling brake fluid, which decreases hydraulic pressure. brake fade.

Either way, heat is the enemy

And your right jason, F1 brake disks and pads are made of carbon, which... ironically.. grips harder the hotter it gets
