Just looking for a bit of advice, we've got a Silverstone track day booked for next week, I've just checked the pads on the car ('05 GT3) and they're looking a little low, pics below.

Suggestion · Original poster
Brake fluid was replaced with Castrol SRF just last month, so should be fine on that front.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Hi all,
Sorry for posting such an uninteresting topic. Just looking for a bit of advice, we've got a Silverstone track day booked for next week, I've just checked the pads on the car ('05 GT3) and they're looking a little low, pics below.
Top of the pad
Bottom of the pad
Bottom of the pad is thinner than the top. They're OEM Porsche pads. Quite a bit of high speed braking to do at Silverstone GP - do we think they'll last a full day there?
Cheers
They look okay in terms of not wearing through, however they may fade quickly or boil the brake fluid through heat transfer.
Just a thought, and will possibly be an issue depending on how old the fluid is.
Go as fast as you can early on and if they don't start to fade in the normal session time you'd do then you're fine - if they do start to fade, cool them down thoroughly and then finish each subsequent session at least one lap sooner.
FFS you have a GT3. Why would you go to the expense of a track day and be worrying about pad wear. Get them changed, bedded in an enjoy a day on the track without worry!

Oooh! Consider my handbag raised and voice in high pitched mode saying 'meow'
Pads were fine in the end, they still look similar to the pics in the OP! Thanks for the advice all.
Here's some vid from the day if anyone's interested
