Agree with the above comments. There is something a miss if you are having brake issues at VIR. Either equipment related or driving style. Vir is rather forgiving on brakes compared to some of the other tracks in the NC area. My car is a stock 3,000 LB Cab. I run standard Carrera calipers. Standard Zimmerman Rotors. Motul 600 (ate should be fine for VIR), and track pads (PFC97, PFC08, Now PFC11) Apex performance can get you these. I will try Poterfield R4 as my next pad. I run 9.5/10ths, brake hard when required, and have no issues. I'll actually use my pads with less meat on them at VIR because I know they will last. I have removed the rotor stone protector plates, have the hub block off plates and do occasionally run with the 993 diverters but none of these should be required for VIR. My guess is you need better pads.
Good luck resolving the issue.
