If this means "after a while on track," you're probably boiling the brake
fluid.  The V6 transaxle Alfas have a serious problem with this.  First,
try ducting your rear brakes.  If the problem persists, you may need to
reroute the exhaust so it exits on the side, rather than passing over the
rear axle (this will help the transaxle live, too).
