I just got home from my first track day at M1 in pontiac Michigan. It was a blast! If anyone is interested in that type of thing, Go for it! The Focus ST did very well. I did have one issue. I pretty much disintegrated my brake pads and ruined my rotors. 4000 miles and I used motul 600 fluid. Back to the drawing board on that one.

Hey, I had my first track day today as well, in Swanton OH. I learned that eagle F1 all seasons are absolutely horrible lmao

When compared to slicks, yes. When compared to all seasons, no. They perform pretty similarly to most other summer performance tires with similar tread wear.

OP, were you using stock pads? I'd recommend a racing pad for track use for fronts. Many use Hawk DTC-60 or Carbotech XP-10 or XP-12.

Yes, they were stock pads. My next question would have been what are people using and there results. I was driving pretty hard and aggressive. I probably should look in the brake section.

I'm not a big fan of carbotech. They are relatively cheap for track pads and advertise 'non corrosive' duty and easy to rotors, but in my experience they do not last long at all = expensive in the long run. And for me at least, pads are way more $$ than rotors, so spending a crapton of money on pads to save $50 rotors doesn't make much sense. I'd go with some hawks.
