Well, given that I went flying off the track over a blind hill... yes, that is possible. Ha ha ha!
But do you mean with the braking problem? Yes - that is possible too... I'm using Carbotech XP10's, and given the wear rate, experienced folks have said its time to step up pads. Maybe they are prone to depositing material, even once parked, at the temps they are reaching? No idea. The rotors go from new to heat checked to cracked fairly quickly.
As for technique, yes... I'm sure there are 1000 ways I can improve. Instructors and coaches I've had in the car said I am doing great on the brakes, so I don't
think I am doing something hinky that might cause excessive temp/wear.
As for overdriving tires, probably. That's an area I don't really understand how to tell the difference between useful slip angle and tire shredding uselessness.
