How much does a standard Camaro brake disc weight?

Anybody got a clue? I have this Formula 1 race used carbon-ceramic-silicon carbide disc and I was amazed how light that thing is. 1.4kg with the brake bell and just under 1kg without the bell. Somewhere I read that all brake discs around an F1 car weight less than 1 brake disc of standard road car.

I got it for a good price to be honest. It's useless since F1 cars change brake rotors every race but it's a cool thing to have for any F1 fan out there. It's amazing how much material is taken off the brake discs over a single race distance. My disc has been filed down from 28mm to 24mm...
