IE like what Mike was saying.. if I have a shiny new 75k car I certainly wouldn't wanna get it dinged up etc.
Car pricing is absurd, I will stick to my old style LT1. Even switching to trucks, a nice diesel is in the sky pricing these days. Inflation, gah.

Most track events, you aren't slamming into each other and disintegrating the car on lap 2. There is a lot of engineering and R&D into this car. Its not one they bolted a bunch of parts to, slammed a badge on it, and said buy now! Its not marketed to be sold to the masses as per the article. Its a flagship style car to show what the automaker is capable of and will act as R&D for future developments. See first year car.

And I don't think they can cut the carbon ceramic rotors. So it's new ones at every brake job. Maybe multiple times a season if used for intended purpose

As Bear said, these rotors aren't like your conventional rotors. They use the same style on high end exotics. I believe they are on some vettes as well, most likely the zr1.
