Are you running with DSC on, off or MDM mode?

If you're wiht DSC on, I can see why your pad wore down on the inside.. I did 2 days there and barely made a difference on the pad life bc you're not really braking that much.. I run with euro mdm at thompson..
I started with DSC on (MDM mode) for first 2 sessions (one hour) and then took it off as I was annoyed how much is cutting off.... so about 1.5 h on and rest off... Got better lap times with it off. I ran with masstuning this time, they have an hour of open track at the end, and I was alone the last 30 min, everyone was out by then

But there are a few straights followed by tight turns, so I do brake a lot though... the main straight is coming from 122mph to a 40 or so in first turn... After that hour session, my brakes were smoking ... I did a slow trip to the gates and back trying to cool them down a bit.
