That braking is fairly light, except for the hard, slightly downhill zone into T1. THat's nearly as rough as Laguna Seca, and that T1 is what is causing your brakes to get so hot.

Try using a higher temp pad next time around, to help mitigate that huge heat spike at T1.

This is assuming you're not sitting on ABS.

You *are* overheating the pad, but not terribly. The pad life indicates that the rate of wear is pretty good.
