Here is a popular brake fluid. Never personally used it, but I wouldn't have any objection to using it in my own car.

I use the Super ATE Blue and the Amber as well. It works well.

I have also used the Castrol LMA and that is really good as well.

Castrol LMA is my first choice for normal street usage, the ATE Blue/Gold for serious track usage.

Use only fresh fluid. NEVER EVER use silicone brake fluid. Synthetic fluid is fine - silicone fluid isn't.

Thanks Guy, that helps me a lot.

My fist use is, of course, for the road, but i take a track course with PCA.
After that course, it may open with a more advanced course depending of my experience after the first one.

after reading your experience i'am hesitate between Castrol LMA or ATE Super Blue.

ATE Super Blue seems to be better then DOT4 but is not DOT 5.1 !
Same for Castrol LMA !

If i anderstanding you, ATE seems superior then Castrol may be for the Boiling point ?

Many people who use their 928 on the track occasionally will use ATE, alternating Blue and Gold at each change, so that it is very obvious when the fluid change is complete.

That is, you use perhaps Blue just before the first track weekend, then change to Gold just before the next track weekend, or at the annual (or every other year) fluid change.
