On my CTR I would have been on to set 4 by the time I had done that.

All depends on what pads you use and what the driving conditions are like and how hard you brake.
No 2 cars will really be the same, especially tracked cars.

Yeah - I was using a set of green stuff up in 6months track time - say 1.5 sessions per month...
I'm quite a late braker, not as late as some but have never had wear issues.

ive taken pics of the inside and outside of the rear pads, and the outside of the fronts - cant see the pad on the front - used a mirror and just saw the caliper - cant see where to look for the pad itsself on that side.
on second viewing (which u might see if u disregard the bluryness) the pads dont look too bad? thats 10k miles and 3 trackdays (2 in the wet).

Fronts are fine. Rear pads aren't as thick as fronts when new anyway, but are fine also. About 1/2(ish) worn. Stop panicing and get the bad boy on track.
Has the car not just been to the factory for a service??? Surely they would have told you if there were any issues.
