They're not necessarily shite -- just not suitable for track work.
Many road use parts are completely different to race use parts. It's why many race brake applications aren't suitable for road use -- because they never get to operating temperature and will brake worse than normal pads during ordinary road driving.
I drive my car through the Adelaide hills and I've yet to suffer any brake fade (on roads that have caused fade in other cars).
If I were to track the car though, the brakes would be the first thing I'd upgrade. On the track it's not necessarily who can run the fastest speed, it's often who can consistently maintain their speed for longer before needing to brake...
