I did my 4 track days in a row. Such a blast!

I got down to reasonable lap times and I think some of that is my comfort with braking much later than people who don't have previous track experience.

I didn't use the HPS 5 on the track. I went with Ferodo DS2500s. The fronts lasted 2 days. The rears lasted 4 days. I kept DSC on and I think that caused significant rear brake wear. Next time out I will turn off DSC.

I don't like the brake set up or pedal feel.

I can completely understand now what you guys mean about track pad vs street pad swap outs being a must. I had to change pads at the track and it's pretty straightforward.

Cheers,
Eamonn
