My mistake... I just cleared that up. Thats not one of its benefits. Sorry for the mix up. I've been learning about the whole product line for the past few weeks and somehow I thought that was one of its unique points.

there is something seriousely wrong with that video. 1 that must not of been a full fledged indy car because i know on my local track fully stripped out evo rs's that weigh in at like 2700 lbs with turboback exhaust and a tune run around 4 minute lap times. and when the amls came to the track the audi r10 diesel ran a 2.19 second lap. im guessing that the open wheeled lighter and more powerful indy car would run at least 10 seconds quicker per lap and a f1 car would run around 5 seconds quicker than that. for comparison on how fast that car should be watch the top gear of the m5 vs the bmw f1 car. thats what this should of been like.

Yup, that race car was not driven like it should. If it was, the evo would have never seen it again once it passed. Sorry, just the facts.

That and you where driving your mirrors in that video. Although I think I probably would too if I saw that in them.

The video was only for fun purposes... Any well driven Indy, Champ, F1 car would be gone so fast its not even funny. It was really cool to be out on track with it. The fact that It really did have 900hp and weighed 1,500lbs was crazy. The onwer brought a crew of 7 guys.... 160 degree tire warmers and the works.

Yes they are Racing Brake rotors... love em

Be interesting to see a comparo of the Audi R10, IRL, and Champ car - on something like Road America or VIR.

Go RacingBrake - absolute confidence in the brakes. On RA1s I run DTC-60s and ATE Superblue with nearly no fade using their 332x28 BBK in front and the same-as-KingKyle floaters in the rear.

cool...

Great to hear you like the RacingBrake setup and the DTC pads. I dont think I could get brake fade or a soft pedal if I tried.
