I should have been more clear. You will not wear the OEM rotors from new to minimum thickness in one track day on a PFC08, but it's very possible to wear the pads down pretty far depending on the track, your driving style, and the car setup (namely if you have more power and/or R-comp tires).

If the OEM rotors can't dissipate heat fast enough, either add more cooling or run pads with a higher MOT.
