I really want to try and make the next event. But not only I am scared of some dipshit ramming me and messing up my car, but I'm also not to sure how my "Brembo" brakes will fair against the constant abuse and braking friction...
Yeah, I had the same thoughts, but it's very controlled. You cannot pass without being waved on first etc. Watch this video and you'll get an idea.
Also, with your manual, you have ton's of engine braking that really helps keep the brakes from getting too hot. The guy in the video is one of the track staff and he's very smooth and doesn't use the brakes too much.

The Boss gets a lot more engine braking dialed-in to the tune as compared to a GT, especially with the Track Key.
The stock Brembo brakes aren't great for "real" road racing. The pad material is only marginally better than the basic GT, and the four-piston calipers up front are good but not great. The rotors are excellent, really the highlight of the package. If you're planning on setting lap records, get a set of dedicated brakes for the car.

I wouldn't be shooting for those. Hell, I'l like to at least run 2-3x the lap record. haha
