That's cool. It would be interesting to see one up close.

somewhat related: Speedvision had a "swapping paint" series with Juan Pablo Montoya and Jeff Gordon where Jeff got to drive Juan's F1 car. They had a close up of the brakes (I think it was on that program) and gave a bit of a narrative. The commentator said that it took weeks to make each disk due to the time the rotor had to sit in the furnace.

Another process which adds to the time we didn't discuss is that the rotors are 2 halves bonded together. This requires furnace time too.

PCCB manufacturing takes more than a day compared to 2 hours for conventional cast iron rotors...again can't imagine the cost of the C-C rotors if ceramics are already this much.
