Carbon brakes like all brakes have an operating temperature range. The first carbon brakes we used in the 500 days had very small range and we used covers alot with holes in them and silver tape to cover or expose the holes. Like a cheap thermostat. The modern ones have a much bigger range but still at tracks like Assen and Phillip island it can be a bit tricky to get right. Mostly because there is a long time between hard braking point so the disks cool. The covers help to keep the temp in the range. In their case they were trying to keep the average temp higher I would say. Around 500 deg c Your Welcome.
