Luckily the Nordshleife isn't a track with many hard braking zones so it wasn't a huge issue. At the time when I replaced them the car was just over 4yrs old with a few dozen track days on it and about 50 laps of the Ring so it was probably well overdue. My guess is years of hammering curbs finally caught up with me, and it was a fairly easy swap since you just replace the entire hub assembly so I wish I would have thought of it sooner.
The only downside is if you have extended studs like me you will need to get another set for the new hubs.

Interesting, so you noticed the problem under braking...
I wonder how many different types of symptoms there are for a worn out wheel bearing such as noticing it in a corner, turning one way versus another way, braking, or obviously at its worst even driving in a straight line
