The Carrera has more rear bias than earlier cars, the p/v is supposed to compenstae but only does so at line pressures >33bar

To use less rear brake you need to push harder for a shorter period of time, but don't jab the brake as that creates pressure spikes that are worse.

The calipers saw temps of 400 - 1000&degF or so and will need to be replaced after each track event unless you can get the rotor temps down and keep them there at all times.

A Carrera is a very underbraked car for track use, if class rules allow 930 size or better rotors are the best way to reduce temps.

Cooling helps but only marginally in this case.
