Let's talk about brake fluids. Good/Bad/Oh snap! I'm farmin'!

I think most of the racers out there have experienced a "farming session" or two. (Where you go shooting off the end of the track because the brakes just weren't there)

Over the past couple of decades I've tried just about every upper echelon type of fluid. Everything from the Motul to Castrol SRF. Now's there's a new player in the market called Torque RT700. The specs on this stuff is just flat out amazing.
Torque RT700? Racing Brake Fluid Technical Specifications

I went through their website and it's rather informative and boasts some pretty impressive numbers. Good enough that I took advantage of their buy 3 get one free deal.
Torque? Racing Brake Fluid The ONLY racing brake fluid developed and manufactured in the USA!

Has anyone tried it? What do you like and have had good luck with? I'm really looking for track experience and seriously hot braking applications. Chime in!

If that stuff is legit its a lot higher than anything else on the market but 2.5 times more expensive than my fluid of choice (Motul 600).

I may not have a gajillion HP but I am definitely full weight and havent had fade issues ever on a road course even when on stock brakes with carbotech pads.

That stuff is spendy but I suppose it would last half a season or so, thats not too much for an all out race car.

90% sure it's just rebadged Pro-speed brake fluid. Pegasus was the first to carry it, but not on their site anymore. I had the specs on 3ST somewhere.

it's still in the catalog, didn't see it on the site.

This. I've never had any fade related to fluid with the super blue.

What are you paying for RBF600? Our local supplier has this new stuff at $40/500ml while Motul RBF600 is just under $20/500ml.

I agree. It certainly does look like that's what it is. Just through a quick search I found some rather stellar reviews of the Prospeed RS683. I'm pretty excited about this, I've been looking at going back to Castrol SRF but was not excited about a silicone based fluid again and all the downsides that come with it.
