So i understand as a car moves around a circuit its quite common for tires to wear unevenly, to some extent due to the work applied from the road and the variation of load.

So correct me if I'm wrong, brake wear should always be identical between left and right corners on a functional braking system. Although negligible their may be variations such as wheel speed around a corner, the thermal capacity of fluid in the lines (only relavent if the car is pushing the system to boiling). But due to the nature of a duel master cylinder set up, the nature of brake fluid, brake bias their should never be a variation of pressure on the same axle.

We had a problem problem in a tarmac rally car on a 3hr endo, it keeps me up at night

Do you corner balance correctly?

Bc in street car maintenance, we see a lot of daily vehicles that like 90% of the time, there's only the driver in the car, so the driver side front pads tends to detain more wear.

I don't have much experience on racing, i'm just starting, but i guess thats important to share this pov.
