Uneven pad deposits tend to arise from heavy braking followed by the driver sitting with their foot on the brake pedal. Even on the road, a heavy stop from high speed to a halt and holding the foot on the brake can cause pad transfer.

Oulton Park is not hard on brakes, especially in the wet where stopping distance is governed by tyre grip not brake power. Mashing the pedal in every brake zone and having the ABS sort it out is not the way either. Nor is driving around with the DSC light on permanently, the DSC uses the brakes for stability.

Stock discs and pads should be fine if driven properly with measures to avoid pad transfer. Cool down lap without using the brakes and stopping the car on the park brake when back to the pits. If they start fading a proper pad (Not EBC) such as Carbone Lorraine CL5+, Ferrodo DS2500, Pagid 4-4, should be fine for most use.
