How often should the brake pads on an Audi R8 be replaced?

I recently purchased an Audi R8 and I am wondering how often I should replace the brake pads. I use the vehicle for daily driving but also like to take it to the track occasionally. Is there a recommended mileage or time frame for replacing the brake pads?

It is recommended to replace the brake pads on an Audi R8 every 20,000 miles or every 2 years, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently take your car to the track, it is best to replace them more often to maintain optimum braking performance.

My mechanic recommends checking the brake pads every 6 months and replacing them when they reach around 50% wear. This way, you can ensure your brakes are always in top condition and avoid any unexpected issues.

I've owned my Audi R8 for 3 years now and I haven't had to replace the brake pads yet. I mainly use it for daily driving and occasional road trips, so it ultimately depends on your driving habits.
