I went with Motul 660 on the G82 because I didn't like the pedal feel of SRF (which is funny because the G82 is brake by wire so it wouldn't impact pedal feel there at all, but whatever)

I wasn’t saying your braking is easy. I was just pointing out how a 2.0 mile track and a 3.29 mile track can both be demanding on brakes. However, I still believe your pad wear is extreme. I’d recommend trying a set of PFC pads front & rear and see if you’re still getting extreme wear. I’d also recommend measuring rotor and caliper temperatures to help with understanding what’s causing the extreme wear.
I’m with you on brake pedal feel with SRF. For the Motul 660, after rack track event, I’d recommend lightly bleed each caliper and the first 1-2’ of brake line to remove the fluid that is being subjected to the highest temperatures and severe environment. This keeps the brake fluid fresh and ready for abuse!
Try to threshold brake in all corners without over slowing the car. Do all the braking in a straight line for this test. Basically, minimize potential variables. So far though it sounds like the main variable may be braking system temperatures. Measuring rotor and caliper temperatures will provide very useful data. I’d say the current goal is to increase pad life by at least 3x from your current xp12 and xp20 pad lives.
