If you haven't replaced your brake fluid yet don't waste your time going or your going to boil it. I boiled mine the first session of the day . Track is really hard on brakes.

That part, I've already had done. Replaced the stock fluid with Motul 660

Depends on how hard you plan on driving the car. If really pushing it hard for the full 20 min sessions, I wouldn't run the ceramics.

Since I'm a rookie at best, I probably won't be running it all that hard, but just to be on the safe side like getting a helmet and switching to Motul 660, I went ahead and switched back to the stock pads, removing my Hawk yellows on Russ's recommendation.

My stock pads still have plenty of thickness on them.
