With ~7+ minute times being common on Nurburgring, its less important for consistency given how long it is. Its definitely a bigger deal on shorter tracks like Laguna Seca, where many vehicles have a 1:40 lap time or less. (One lap is near meaningless on Laguna Seca given how short it is).
Still, long-term endurance is a big deal. You don’t want to have an overheated brake system just 10 minutes or even 30 minutes into a track day. High quality across the entire system (suspension, brakes, drivetrain) is needed on the ring.
