I'll answer for travis. The autocross days at BHF start with 2-3 lapping sessions of 4 laps somewhere around 80%-90% or so. The autocross later in the day is a single lap time trial run about 4 times with close to an hour in between runs. Each lap sees speeds close to 100mph and has two corners, turns 7 (the last one) and 1, where you are braking from 90mph+. Brakes get a pretty good workout.


As a novice I'd say I'm pretty hard on my brakes (long braking zones) and have yet to overheat my KVR's. I think an aggressive stret pad is what is needed for auto-x sessions there as time trials are run almost cold.
