About 90*F ambient temp in intermediate group at Summit Point Motorsports track, WV.

If you’re going to drive the the car hard, look at more robust pads. Great experience otherwise but sad to rip through pads so fast. It might be slightly on me because I also burned up pads (while damaging rotors) on 718 gt4, GR86, SS1LE.

Have fun out there! Now to find some replacements for the street.
Apex vaporized a set of pads in 10 taxi laps on the Ring. Switching to endless they got 100. They then added additional cooling and got over 170.

Change pads, open the ducts, add additional cooling.
