If you really are suffering from "Brake Fade" & "this is more likely on the road", then changing your brake fluid will make no difference what so ever to your problem when on the track... It's the friction material that you need to be looking at upgrading... It follows of course that if you fit uprated discs/pads to your car then the next component in the system to fail on the track will be the std fluid, so it makes sense to upgrade it at the same time so that it can deal with both the prolonged track environment & the extra heat produced by the uprated discs/pads.
Iv actually upgraded to gold Brembos with Orange Stuff pads since my last experience of fade but I used TWR 5.1 which may be OK on the road, but as I'm doing my annual brake bleed before I go on track I fancy a better fluid as I fear having fade on track.
Thanks for all replies, lots of good info on this thread now.
Richard.

Yea granted!... A bit like anything though.. If you don't know what you are doing then it will probably cost you twice as much to get it right (if at all) .. and at that point you really shouldn't be playing around with these things anyway...
