My buddy roasted through a new a set of DS2500's on an old E30 325 in 4 track days.
Most of them are actually 5, 20 minute sessions, so more like 27 hours of on track time. Overall the tracks I've been on are probably in the moderate to hard on brakes range (mostly T-hill, Buttonwillow and MRLS). By that I mean I am able to get endurance pads up to bedding-in temperatures on the fronts without any trouble.
