It could be many things. apparently most brake professionals will tell you that warped rotors arent actually that but it is the break pad unevenly being dissipated on the rotor for whatever reason. I dont believe this, but I digress.

Also, check for any play in your suspension, namely your tie rods.

i track my car and have never warped the rotars, 67K still on the same rotors.
And how many track days have you had your car out for? Most of us who track the car all the time go through front rotors like chips at a Mexican restaurant. 4-10 track days maybe, and the rotors are too heat-damaged to use again.

To the OP, have you checked your alignment? Your air pressures? The balance of the wheels? Pulled the wheels off and visually checked the suspension for cracks or damage?

It might be the rotors, or it might not be the rotors.
