Re: Ceramic Brakes

Ceramic brakes offer little perfomance gain over steel. The difference reported by so many is to a greater extent down to caliper design, swept areas, fluids and such like.

A few seasons ago the FIA asked Williams to test an F1 car with steel brakes as opposed to carbon. The results were not very different at all.

Carbon & ceramic brakes are the domain of cars which are in general purchased by those knowing little about cars. Lets keep them on the the 911's and F430's only shall we.

Probably most, if not all on this forum, will learn more about gettting faster laps by learning to use the brakes less anyway.
