Always off. Since this year, I have also taken it off in the rain

Very hot day, no rain... might it be that trail-braking could be causing this?

Don't think trail braking would cause uneven wear on pads. Your pad probably over heated and the compound crumbled off the shoes.

Did you get any pad deposits on that rotor?

I'd check the caliper pistons and seals then for piece of mind. Something's going on and if it was me I'd rule everything else out before I blamed it on the pad.

Last event of the season. Friday the 27th of September at Calabogie. CMP days. Advanced group. best lap time was 2.27.8 with NT01 that are now corded (all 4).
And at the start of the day one of my Wheel studs broke off Inside Wheel...

My car is now over 80,000 kms.
It's in the shop at this moment having the half cage done, and the seats and harnesses installed.

Then it will be properly washed, claybar, waxed etc to be stored over our harsh winter.
