Actually road cars can often be harder on brakes than racing cars primarly
due to the adverse braking torque to weight ratio of a road car compared to a
racing car. You only have to consider the extra weight of a passenger, spare
tyre, junk in the boot etc and all steel (no glass fibre panels) construction
not to mentioned being fully trimmed and so on.
Road cars can also be hard on brakes because they are required to bring the
car to a dead stop in traffic, time and time again leading to a build up of
heat that is not dissipated because speed and duration to the next dead stop
is minimal.
