5.1 fluid is seriously not guna boil with your car/those speeds/that circuit unless you're on fire or all your calipers are binding

Don't get me wrong, Greenstuffs are wank, but not that wank!

Then I recently bled it again and go a fair bit of air out the system but don't think I got all of it. And now it's back to it was before the last bleeding
And it was a hard pedal on track but went to the floor once off track???
What did you do to cure it?
It went to the floor on track and wouldn't stop the car, hence the rally stage. Once it cooled down a bit it would stop again.
Want to bleed it again as soon as possible so need to choose between 5.1 or racing fluid (tempted by the racing one as it's blue )
