Default Does track=auto -x or road course events

If you mean road course I would not recomend them. I ate an entire set of pads in a matter of two hours at a 1.7 mile course. Was worth it though. It was only a 328 but I schooled him the whole time. Kind of wierd when a Ferrari is holding up a Volkswagen on a road course. Then again he probably went home with brakes and I did not! My car is a Passat and not an A4 by the way.
