Most of the time the pads I tend to use dont have cutouts for wear sensors anyway. (Apologies for the holier than thou tone, not meant to be!) Me neither but constantly hard braking on track made it a first for me and there really was bugger all left on them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Given Porsche no longer inspects the car via the 200 point check for warranty renewal it surely makes no sense to pay full Porsche prices. Worse that can happen is that a brake related warranty claim wouldn’t be honoured, but I don’t know of any likely brake issue that might be covered by warranty.

For example Lockton if your a PCGB member of an insurance policy that includes track say cover on PCGB organised track days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmand Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Yes but make sure you understand the terms - had this on mine as it came “free” with the agreed value policy - but the excess was 10%! Most regular policies now seem to exclude track days as there have been one or two big claims in recent years and brokers are pretty wary.
