Friend's GC6 on track Hoosier R series, summer Potenza RE series and winter some kind of Pireilli. Track close to dozen time in summer plus auto-x half dozen times, 3~4 times in winter and hub lasted him 9yrs (close to 10 yrs)... & MMP track isn't slow corning and it require pretty hard braking.

coyote is correct about the new bearings and the 114 bearings being better, but in my experience the whole wheel bearing thing is hit or miss depending on the car, the driver and the setup.
I've had my Impreza for 8 years now and only had one wheel bearing wear out and I've done quite a bit of Autocrossing too, but I don't drive the car that much in general (only about 50k miles over that time).
I'm REALLY curious about the front bearings on the Toyobaru considering it won't have the front axles.
