These cars are known to have brake issues with the stock diameter rotors/pads and factory fill brake fluid. A number of us have experienced that mysterious sinking brake pedal at the worst moments.
That's why before every event you should inspect your brake system and BLEED each brake bleeder screw as recommended by the factory. Every single time I bleed my brakes I see air bubbles in the catch bottle. Every bleed circuit, every time. And that's with using the best fluids you can get your hands on.

As mentioned, it was a guy from Bergen, quite "big" as in full of muscles. Seemed like a very nice man when we interviewed him later on! I've heard people saying he passed them like a bullet when they were pushing 180km/h, so he must have been going at least 200km/h!
Insurance will be a ***** though, for the insurance to pay out on a trackday you must not exceed 90km/h, and it's not hard to see that this one has...

Phew, Hans is a great guy and personal friend and last time we came to visit he invited me to this event, logistics/timing to ship my car from Dubai did not work out. Maybe you guys can give our friends here a rough idea of what sort of event Gatebil is by posting some pictures of the crowd...
Any of you guys from Norway know Morten Skyer from Skien?
