Default DOT rating of Gallardo stock brake fluid, and ATE Super Blue?

Hi all, is anyone on here doing track days in their G? And have you had any issues with the brakes and/or pads? I've got my first track event coming up this weekend and a lot of people who go to these find their cars' brakes not up to the task and boiling their fluid or damaging their rotors. A common recommendation is to bleed the brakes out and use ATE Super Blue DOT 4 fluid instead of stock, but I can't find anyone in a G that has done this or if it's even necessary.

Ignore this, I answered my own question. The stock fluid on a Gallardo is the ATE TYP 200 which is the same thing as the Super Blue but in amber color. Apparently most people even alternate between the two so they know when their brake system is fully flushed.
