Speed cost money, how fast do you want to go! And in road racing braking is just as important as accelerating. It maybe that I don't need them and they are to be handled carefully, but racing is about getting the best tools for the job, because the job is winning. If you can run 2 to 4 sec a lap better because of those brakes, as they are used on the LMPs, F1 and every expensive car out there. As for the comments about guys pulling them for std brakes, I believe they are just being cheap. and in racing that means slow. Yes they are not for everyone, as they add 10 k or so to the cost of racing, but are you there to just enjoy the ride or make mincemeat of your competition. I solo against EVOs with their light weight, turbos, and 4 wheel drive, but I can drive and have experience to keep up with my stuff. Like I said the car (lambo aventador) accelerated slower than it braked. Maybe they are not for you.
To me the advancement is like comparing drum brakes to discs when they first came out. Jaguar ate Ferrari's lunch because Enzo did not believe the brakes were making the difference back in the day.
If you are building to just tool around for Cars and Coffee a GT40 or P4 will not need that but if your hauling the mail around VIR or Barbour I would be wanting to ruin some hotshoes day by out braking them.
If and when I build one of the LMP1 RCR builds I will be all over using CC brakes.
Hammer down!
