Yes, although make sure you start with new-ish pads, and it does depend on your driving style.

It is possible to go right through your pads but equally, it's possible to not use too much at all.

are you sure? cause last time I went to brands hatch for half a day, the brake was shaking hard after several laps and cant be cooled down easily...

And I know Donnington is more brake demanding too...

Yes, I've driven at Donington a numbner of times now, as well as lots of other folk here.

If you limit your sessions to 15-20 minutes and cool the brakes properly between sessions, I do 20 on/20 off, and show some consideration for your brakes it'll be fine.

Stay out too long and be the last of the late brakers and you'll trash them.

See my videos above Partys 1&2 are one session, as are parts 3&4.
