That is very cool. Thanks for posting.

At the very end, the C6R is coming around a bend at night. Is the red glow the brake disk glowing red hot?

I believe that was a C6R in the very last part but was a C5R just before that... but regardless the brake rotors are carbon ceramic and yes they will glow red to white red from the tremendous braking requirements for track braking loads...and being carbon ceramic does not effect braking in the least...unlike standard cast iron rotors which would fail in that condition.

Fun watch>>

and although in German and Posche specific another good watch>>

Will be my next braking system... even at $8K option (on MB and Porsche) best money you can spend.
