Motul RBF 600 brake fluid?

[Fiorano]

Is this a good street/track brake fluid? Some have told me it is track only.

You don't need Motul for the street. Dot4 is recommended for street.

What brake fluid could I use for the street that would work well and won't boil at the track? I boiled the stock fluid at VIR.

You should flush your fluid before each track event. In that case, use Motul or the best Castrol SRF.

I use Motul all the time, for brake and clutch fluid. But IIRC, if you are going to use performance fluids like Motul, you don't want them in your car for 18 months - so if you don't put on much mileage, and expect the fluid to last for the typical stated mileage, then Motul probably isn't for you. (However, I get ~18k a year, so I change it in plenty of time.)

Motul is dot4 (they make a dot5 but you don't want that) and has outstanding boiling points. It will over time absorb less moisture than other fluids but I'm like slaughterj and replace mine every two years. At only $10, it's perfect. The only other option is to use the Castrol for the track at about $100 a change.
