how quickly are we talking because I use this car as a daily until I get another one and plan on tracking this car at least once a month if I can. I'm somewhat fairly new in road coursing so don't know exactly how hard I will be getting into it.

Not an easy question to answer
Depends on how hard you are on the brakes. For sure they will crack sooner than non-drilled rotors. It’s normal prep to inspect your pads and rotors, they are expendable items.
When you first start out tracking, most likely you won’t be “super” hard on the brakes, so they’ll last longer at first. Go ahead and run them, when they need replacing, go with slotted or solid rotors

Inspect those rotors closely after EVERY session. This is a heavy car and I've seen people crack drilled rotors on other cars in one session.
