EDIT Oops, just read the bit about the spongy brakes!
Its so frustrating when you have a quicker car through the twisty bits. You get held up trailing the slower car through the bend, which compromises your exit speed, then they disappear down the straight and you're screwed for the whole length of the straight with it all to do again. I even used to get this in the PT. I would move over on the straight to let an obviously faster car through only to baulked as they dawdled through the chicanes.

The pedal did get a bit spongier after the first 30 minute event. I'll try to figure out if it is a bleeding issue or, as Gary Johnson recommended, upgrading to the SRT6 master cylinder to keep a larger amount of fluid in the system... But, they worked famously, I would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their brakes.
I always have the same issue of higher HP cars passing on the straights and then me having to re-pass in the corners... It's just part of the game...
