Depends on how you drive it. It on it's own has no impact on brakes at all.

Wise ass!

Obviously tracks vary regarding frequency and length of braking zones.
Just want to determine need before upgrading to more pricey race pads. StopTech Sports have sufficed so far but they are likely near done.

I would just change your pads and fluid anyway. Unless you're planning to just cruise around on the track, I don't see a negative besides spending money.

Well, the StopTech Sports with Motul 660 have served me well through a HPDE day and a half dozen track days. They work well for DD (99%) as well so the prospect of moving to race pads and having to switch them and bed-in for each track day isn’t appealing. Convenience is the issue more than expense.

I’ve been using their Track Day pads. I get 6 track days and a few canyon runs out of a set. No complaints. Quiet but a good amount of dust.

There's a lot of "it depends" in this question but as long as you have a decent track oriented pad and its relatively fresh with fresh brake fluid, you'll be fine for a day at least.

TMP for me is the 2nd hardest on brakes for all the tracks I've been to in Ontario (SMP, DDT, TMP, GP and CMP) due to a few hard braking zones placed back to back to back (T1, T2, T3, T6, T8, T9) which have very few big straights in between except T1 to T2. This means your brakes don't have much of a chance to shed the heat they've built.

That said, just get track pads and live da squeal life. You'll be fine.

The white Brembo logos on my brakes are now beige from heat cycling at TMP.
The OEM pads were done after just a few lapping days in 2019 so I bought some CounterSpaceGarage C1 pads for 2020 and ran them the entire season last year and I still had life left at the end (I have a season's pass so I went 20+ lapping days on a single set of pads).


So with proper track pads you'll get decent life but squeal on the way home, with oems they'll wear pretty fast if you're going to be going often but if its just a few times and you're not being aggressive you're probably okay.

I'm not the fastest but I run a 1:23 consistently with the odd dip into a 1:22, I get up to 165km/h on the first straight and brake pretty late/hard into T1 so I'm probably harder on the brakes than someone who is just starting out.
