Sounds like what I have heard referred to as "green fade." This happens when the pads are not broken in properly before hitting track temps. This is true running street or certain track pads. I had that happen when looking for a "dual purpose pad " and ran Hawk HPS.

On the advice of one of the most respected wrenches on the forum, I tried Pagid Oranges on my SC for a couple of events. They were absolutely terrible. When I changed cars and went to the 996, I also went to PFC 97's with ATE fluid. What a completely different experience. No fade and great stopping even at the end of a 30 minute session.

Back to ATE Super Blue for a minute. I still have half a liter from when I flushed my brakes less than 60 days ago. How long is it safe to use the rest of that can, assuming the top is on tight and stored properly?
