How did the shoulders of those poor P4S's look after a few sessions? Was the instability under braking due to the oem brake pads not holding up? Any issues with reduced power due to heat?
I instructed some Model S P85D's at COTA a few years ago and they went into reduced power mode after about a lap. You could still drive but it felt like about 70% power. They felt like heavy boats that didn't handle well.

I only ran three laps in the car - it was flat out dangerous on the back straight brake zone. Yeah the instability you see in the brake zone, is because the pads just were not slowing the car down. My guess is Tesla used a very low wear compound due to regen braking.
The PS4's still look new. You can barely tell the front left was driven on track. No issues with reduced power.
