The longer you brake, however, the less time the brakes have to cool (as you're effectively on the brakes a larger percentage of time during a lap), so the best thing to do is to brake as hard and as fast as possible, slow the car and get back off the brakes.
On a 911, I have always liked Pagid orange pads for a good street/track pad.

Furthermore, cooling has more effect at higher speeds so you dissipate more of that heat if you are going fast while braking.
