Even the Ferodo 2500's won't last too long for serious track use. Like yandy said, if you going to be tracking, get some dedicated track pads.

It may be a combination of the fact I was a bit slower and I use to run with the DTC partially on. That may have helped spread the wear over both front and rear pads since both where finished at the same time. Now I run without DTC on at all, so the fronts take the majority of the abuse as intended. I guess it'll depend on the track, but the track I spend the majority of my time on isn't that bad on pads. Really only two turns with threshold braking so as long as I stay away from Laguna I should be good for more than two days I think. I'm not going back to Laguna until May so I have some time to research track pads.
You run mainly at VIR right? I've heard that track is crazy fast with some really difficult braking. I met a guy with a carbon pkg Z06 who said the same thing about VIR that he'd destroy pads in a day or two there.
