We have the same Bremboni brakes albeit your discs are slightly bigger and so are the pads. You also have vented pistons (better). There should be zero difference.
Make sure to do a cool down lap before heading to the paddock at the end of each session, ideally with speeds that require no use of brakes at all for a lap (or as close to it as possible). That will prevent majority of a heat soak not only to the brakes, but also wheels, hubs, tires and motor.
If they still smoke from heat, go for a short drive on an access road trying to use brakes as little as possible and pop the hood open from inside the cabin. This will intro more air flow to the whole area.
Upon parking, open the hood fully, to cool them down faster (and help cool down the motor as well).
