Movie: *Testing* Brake cooling on GTI MK7 (7.5), Second fitted *update*

[Wide]

Has tested a set of brake cooling from Stertman Motorsport. These are for most of MQB cars. Would try to make a test and see if this really works. (many racing cars and super sports cars have similar brake cooling)

And think it works..

If anyone doubts about Stertman knowledge, they have just built their new Demo car. 

A Mk7 CS that seems to be the world's fastest 100-200km/ CS , 6,79sek!!

and they are responsible for tuning most of Jon Olsson's cars ..

Are those really just plastic with inbuilt cable tie style fasteners?

The Duct has "clips" that hold it on place on the wishbone!. It was hard to see in the Video..   

And the Zip is extra to keep in place. I think it is pretty solid mount.   

I can attach a better picture of this..

Isn't there a chance that it gets knocked either off or around the wishbone? Particularly thinking of snow...

Is the duct metal or plastic?

Is this for some sort of racing application? Can't see any reason why you would need to fit these for road use?

We had a big long discussion about this somewhere on here the other day... ;-)

Yeah, did see most of it. Still don't know really know why you would need these for the road though.

Porsche has had a similar solution for 25 years, and these cars go well 99% on the street. and they can build cars capable of being battered. Their brakes are known to "never" fade ..

So why not have the best brakes in hard driving?!, Even on the street
