Watch the RSR's and Cup cars closely during a pro race. You will see what we see in the data. We call it "The Pro Tap". They will reset the pads with a tap right before they actually need to use the brakes. Pat Long does it, Johannes, Jorg, Stanton, Pobst. The cars with floating rotors do tend to do it less, but they still do it. You will see it less in a sprint race and more in the 2:45 or longer races. I beleive it became more common when everyone went to the quick disconnect no fluid loss couplers a few years back. Instead of changing pads, the whole caliper is replaced during the pit stops for the enduro's.
This guy's problem sounds like multiple issues occuring at once. I'll consult the Brembo race engineer I work with and the Performance Friction guy's I deal with and see what they have to say about.
