DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5 fluids

Wanted to find something special for my 1000th post, so here it is. I'm a big F1 fan and while I'm watching the coverage of the US Grand Prix practice session I saw something . Mine you these are the best of the best in automotive technology. The budgets for these teams is in the 200 million dollar range per season. I think these guys know what there doing. While the interviewer was in the Jaguar garage the team was filling the brake resevior. In there hands was a can of Castrol LMA fluid, dot 3/4. I know the sillicon stuff is great for paint but when I used it the stuff seemed spongy. This is just some info to think about when you guys are trying to decide what fluid to run. The 5 may protect your paint but the 3/4 seems to have a better heat rating which means better brakes.
