Aftermarket Rotors

[luc]

Here's basically a summary of the rotor tech of EVERY car racing at LeMans last month.

Where are the drilled rotors?

Lol, you’re right
Some of my street cars:
You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about and just made a fool of yourself.. Congratulations

I'm not going to argue with a know it all. Unless you have done every kind

I guess you are the expert of all things racing and know it all. LOL......

You're knowledge is based off of principles followed before the 1980s. Cross drilled rotors were at one point the standard for racing at the highest level of performance, and even then only the absolute best teams could afford to design and manufacture cross drilled rotors that would withstand the rigors of racing.

Today, that is absolutely not the case. Find me a real race car, sponsored by a real team, that competes in professional leagues, that has cross drilled rotors. I'll wait...

But I'll save you the time, since you're obviously a troll, who had been deleted at one point. You won't find one, so stop being an ass who thinks he knows everything. And yes, @luc is a very accomplished racer and knows more than a few things

for no reason other than putting 1" pads in a caliper. Plus I'm sure they were looking for forged calipers instead of cast as well stronger bridge for more force and feel.

You obviously have never been around actual race cars...

You've obviously been around cars you *thought* were race cars that really weren't. Cross-drilled hasn't been a thing for a long time.

As an interesting tidbit, quite a few race cars of the 60 had 2 calipers per wheel due to the small, 15”, diameter of the wheel

I run the cheapest PP centrics I can find from either rock auto or EBay.

Id be interested in understanding how you need more than PP brakes (w fluid, vents, pads) for an even moderately tracked street car.

My rotors are destroyed when the pads are worn out so I just replace them at the same time.

I applied this strategy for years racing SM and seems to work on an S550 too..

The base 4 pot brakes with vents, pads, and fluid also perform very well for the beginner to moderate track car

if the rest of your car is GT4 capable and you are racing professionally, then sure. can't imagine why one would need all of that to do a 25-minute session with point-by only passing.

When I say moderate I mean 305mm 200TW driven 8.5-9/10 during hpde

I mean it all depends on the type of track, but you're definition is a little higher than mine
