I saw that, be careful with "their own" testing because they can put whatever numbers they want without proving anything. If you search Torque it's not popular. So it's either too new and they have no marketing, or it's not what it's says. Likely just too new but i'd be interested in 3rd party lab results. Worth a look.

Either supplier issues for stuff to make the stuff, or they ran into a snag. I remember when AP's new radical stuff came out they had issues with certain metals.

good info here. only track experience was a PDX on 3 year old brake fluid - pedal getting soft at the end of the 2nd session, okay during the 3rd session. i'll report back in july re: red line's, have to imagine for my needs (near stock) it will be fine.

the vendor that i order the rt700 from said they will be in stock in 3 weeks at the latest, so we'll see.

i do notice a big compresibility between new pads vs pads that's more than half worn, even with fresh fluids.

I run Torque in both my Evo 10 and my Fiesta ST.

BY FAR the best fluid I have ever used in almost 15 years of tracking cars. I've literally been able to go four plus events without touching the fluid, no needing to do maintenance bleeds between events!. Pedal stays firm the ENTIRE day which had never happened before.

Unfortunately it's now almost impossible to get because the guy doesn't know how to run a business. I had a order since October and I finally cancelled it a month ago after the guy kept giving me excuses.

I will be moving to Endless fluid next.

Do the 10's have the same braking issues the 8's and 9's have?

Also has any use the Castrol React SRF?

Does anyone have any experience with Wilwood EXP 600?

Like others I have used Motul 660 and after one track day the brakes felt spongy.
