Here's a quick & dirty summary of fluids & consumables I'm currently running:

Motor Oil: Mobil 1 15W-50 (change every other event)
Brake Fluid: Castrol SRF (change 1-2x per season)
Manual Transmission: Amsoil Torque-Drive ATF (change once per year)
Rear Diff: ACDelco 10-4034 75W-90 Gear Oil (change once per year)
Brake Pads: OEM Ferodo (change every 1-2 events)
Tires: OEM SC3R (change as needed)

For my first couple of track events, I ran Motul RBF 660, but I would feel the pedal get a bit soft / long at the end of the 20-25 min sessions on track. Since I've switched to Castrol SRF, I haven't had this issue at all. That said, the Motul 660 is likely fine fluid and it's the novice driver in me braking too much (getting the brakes too hot, cooking the fluid). Thus, while the Castrol SRF is a superior fluid, I am sure some of my issue resolution has come from becoming a better driver (less brake!!!).

I've been happy with the OEM Ferodo pads, but as I've become quicker (harder but less braking), I am wearing through them VERY quickly (1-2 track events) and the wear is VERY uneven. I don't have a pic handy -- I'll try to remember to snap one when I put on new pads in the next few weeks -- but the last few sets have had more than half pad life up top/front while the bottom/rear of the pad is on the wear bars. I have one more new set of OEM Ferodos and need to remember to flip them upside down mid-weekend this season. I'm also considering moving to a DTC70 front // DTC60 rear combo after I wear through my last set of OEM Ferodos. I will likely buy an extra set of rotors to have on hand since I know the Hawks will be harder on the rotors.

I may also upgrade to the vented Z06 pistons over the winter. Not sure if I'll have time to do the pistons & caliper rebuild, but it's next on the mod list. I still need to install the roll bar, harnesses, toe arms and do a full service on the car. And I work too much and have some young kiddos. Ideally, I'll get to it over the winter. If not, perhaps during the season.
