Has anyone had experience with ATE Super Blue Racing High Performance Brake Fluid? Does it work, and are there any issues with it? I want to use it in the car ('86 BMW 325) that my daughter will be using for July Driver Training. There is a good chance she will be sharing the car so I want to be sure the brakes are up to the task for Sunday. I'm also be ordering drilled rotors and high performance pads for it (what is on the car now are good so will be used as spares). Most likely the car will be turned into a pro3 car and we will take the wing off (this is Meekings old street car).

It's good stuff.. Slightly better than "normal" DOT4 for not a huge price difference. It's probably right at the point of diminishing returns, higher temp fluids cost a lot more money.

We used it on the volvo (not a light car..) at the 24h of LeMons in 2009, went through a set of pads pretty quickly, but no problem at all with the fluid.

I also used it for my driver training on the heavy arse volvo wagon with pretty aggressive pads (carbotech XP8's, I believe), had no hints of any brake troubles. I use it on all my street cars as well, just cause a bottle goes a long way.. Same with the vee, it's overkill, but I have plenty of it left!

Of course, the great thing about ATE fluid is, next time, you can buy a bottle of the gold stuff - which is exactly the same fluid, but a different color hehe. Makes flushing pretty easy, you'll know exactly when you've replaced the old fluid completely. And it gives a nice splash of color to an otherwise bland engine bay! Ok, that was a joke.

Nope, I'm skipping the vintage event - didn't think the vee was "eligible" this time around without the special FV race, but either way my car is still in pieces.. If I can get it together on Saturday and finish the car prep, I'd love to come to the track on Sunday and check out the racing and/or work a corner..
