Default Bad Brakes in Hot Weather

I've experienced severe pad deterioration on my front drivers side pads after some very aggressive sessions on a very hot day at Putnam. The pads are Pagid Yellows, with Girodisc front rotors, stock rear. The first time, the outer pad was shot after two days, with all the other pads 80%. I replaced the outer pad with a new one, and after the next session (2 days), the inner pad was shot - completely. Putnam is certainly one of the toughest tracks on pads - sticky and no time for cooling.

I ran 6 laps out of 8 in the 1:20.x in the last session, and the brakes started to fade badly. For reference, 1:20.x is probably the quickest time for a Cayman at Putnam. I run with PSM off.

My shop is telling me it is the 'right turn' bias that heats up the L
F brakes, and recommending StopTech pads. I might need some cooling as well.

Anyone have any experience with this??
