Brake Pad Wear

What type of front pad wear are the rest of you getting on race cars?

I am running SCCA SSC with a weight of 3050 lbs. I am using Carbotech XP-10 (orange) and used up a set of pads in 2 1/2 race weekends. 468 miles race miles to be exact. The rears are good, but the fronts are down to 1/8" or less. If I would have finished the enduro on saturday (bad rain ended it), I am sure they would have been completely gone, and the Sunday afternoon race was canceled due to rain as well.

Try the Hawk DTC-60s. Just came out for the MINI caliper.

Well I opted for a new set of Carbotech pads in a harder compound XP12 instead of XP10. Perhaps will try the Hawk pads later. I allways ran Hawk Blue or black pads on my GT-L Mini and was quite happy.
