Two more excellent reasons to hate Treynor

[MarcSpaz]

Man... I can wait to get on the track in the Spring. Way too busy to travel for track time in warm weather. :-(

Looks like both of your XX cars made it on Top Gears Gallery.

Very nice!

Best pic so far from the event:

Great pic!

Are the brake rotors composite or iron?

Awesome. Get to see the whole unique paint/flag. Hot brake rotors. And flames coming out of the exhaust. That is fantasic!

 

[DaBigBone]

That's an awesome pic

Carbon brakes

Ben, are they carbon carbon or carbon ceramic? I have heard carbon carbon is even more consistent lap after lap but don't last very long and even more $$$$ then carbon ceramic. I'm curious if you have had experience with both types and your thoughts on the two.

Also Amazing pic!

They are race cars so they would almost certainly be carbon carbon. Carbon ceramic is limited to street cars.

3 years ago, people would have said the same thing about ceramics being for race cars.

Ceramics are actually not very good for street cars. They usually require heat to work their very best.

Carbon ceramic brakes are not limited to street cars. They're actually still pretty rare on street cars and race cars. Carbon-carbon brakes are still cost prohibitive for anything outside of Formula 1 and NASA (the Space Administration, not the racing series). Even people with treynor money aren't going to want to keep replacing hugely expensive carbon-carbon rotors and hugely expensive carbon-carbon pads. Carbon-carbon rotors are consumable whereas carbon ceramic rotors can last the life of the car.

Just back from a weekend at Thermal raceway. Big big fun

 

[MarcSpaz]

Nice run! Does that car have an air shiftier or is it all electronic?

 

[treynor]

It is a paddle-shift car
