Something is STILL wrong with those numbers.

At the low miles stated would the car be able to finish LeMans without a ROTOR change? If not it seems like the advantage of the brakes would be lost in pit time to change them out!

PADS I can see, but having to change the ROTORS in the middle of a race sounds like a "bad engineering" idea to me.

F1 cars, being much lighter are a different animal all together. Note also that in the past few years several F1 teams have disappeared because of the "cost" and have NOT been replaced! There IS concern that if this trend continues F1 could be become an "endangered species", based soley on cost!
