Yes I can say I'm not surprised as we saw huge amounts of sparks flying from your brakes, At one point I thought they might have been the new carbon metallic pad as I know from experience they spark. not sure how you kept stopping so well every time, cheers for showing use :grin: :grin:

you were they lucky that they still stopped you.

:D Same thing happend to my rear brake pads @ Snetterton in February. I had fairly new front pads and the rears only looked half worn, but by the afternoon session they were down to the metal :o

Nice burning of the caliper paint there Jamie :D
