Are you sure it is rubber and not your brakes - your brakes will smell after spirited driving!

I have experienced this in the past. Of a weird strong Rubber smell. It was right after I had gone up a steep parking garage. Anyway you could have been riding your clutch and burning it. Remember, Clutch In or Out, Never in between!

Reduce the number of handbrake turns you are doing?

Cease coming to a stop using the handbrake?
