I bleed my brakes between sessions sometimes, especially if I feel any softness in the pedal. This is a normal routine for me especially if I had a really good session and was pushing hard. Usually after about 60 minutes of track time.

I am using Hawk Blacks and Motul 600.

Also, how are you braking? Really hard and short or softer and longer?

You will over heat the brakes more if you are using them softly.

Try shortening your braking distance, the longer your foot is on the brake pedal the hotter everything is getting.
