Last week did a private track day at Snetterton. Great mix of cars in attendance, from a Citroen C1 race car to a Senna and everything in between. Very small numbers so loads of quiet track time.
Did a 2:21 lap which is decent but I know sub 2:20 is possible.
I now really want a V12 Vantage S!
Installed Focal speakers and did the window mech washer fix while in there. We did 2 cars at the same time. Its definitely an easier job with 2 pairs of hands.
If the discs are not worn to min thickness then you’ll be fine. Consider changing fluid too to something like RBF 660. Those pads will be more than good enough. If the car is stock then consider adding some front camber if you can, your tyres will thank you.
If there’s an instructor available...
I've got DBA 5000 series (330x28) on Reyland bells (using AP Racing hardware) and so far so good with a few hundred hard road miles and an Anglesey track day. OK the car isn't quite as hard on brakes as a GR Yaris would be but my discs look pretty much new still. RP-1 pads and GT3 ducts.

Weren't you there on holiday recently? Definitely recommended. Arguably the drive up from Abergavenny area was just as good! Baffle Haus is a great coffee stop too.
Anglesey track day on Sunday with (very) scenic route taken there and back.
Unfortunately a GR Yaris blew up in spectacular fashion in the morning. Hope you’re back in action soon if it’s anyone on here.
I’ve had my Hipermax S coilovers on for nearly 2 years and they’ve been great. You can tell they spent a lot of time developing them and the damping is excellent
Just ordered DBA 330mm rings that are compatible with the Reyland bells.
It will be the first time changing them over DIY so wish me luck.
I had really bizarre corrosion issues with the original Pagid discs so I’m hoping these will be a lot better given they’re coated.
Just arrived back from this tour:

The roads are simply stunning and the GR86 acquitted itself impeccably amongst the (much) faster stuff.
10/10 - the best thing you can do in a sports-car.
From the highest point in Portugal:
Sunday was early morning B-road blast with a couple of friends in unfortunately inferior vehicles. They made the best of it though.
Spotted a spirited GR Yaris out and about on the B1039 Great Chishill road 👋🏻
