The pads held, but I blew the front rotors on Sunday afternoon - again. I took it easy on Saturday, but went out pretty hard on Sunday. When my tires would die, I'd resort to AWD rally technics - not good for brakes. Sebring is trully a great track.

For those who go in the future, here are some notes/numbers for reference:

A fast safe cruising pace is around 2:40 with the subie - could last 4 laps, then you'd have to cool down for a lap before going at it 3-4 laps again.
With a 2:45 pace, you could last the whole session without any brake/tire issue at all.
At 2:32 pace, you will blow/overheat front rotors in 3 laps - big cracks and terminal glazing. Need brake ducts mandatory.

14 gallons of gas lasted 70 miles on track. ~5mpg - not quite enough for two 25 minute session - put gas after every session. Carry an extra 5 gallon jar of gas.

That is about it.
