The ceramic rotors will last the life of the car if not tracked. A couple track events per year by a novice driver won't change that. Pads last same as steels but will cost more.

Track use wear of the rotors will be wholly dependent on drivers braking style, track configurations run, ambient temps and critically- warm up, cool down laps. Thermal shock is a strong determinant of wear rate with ceramics.

I've got approx 125 track days, all on either carbon-ceramic or carbon-silicon-carbide rotors. Personally would not want to ever track a car with steels for a variety of good reasons (rotating/unsprung weight reduction, no black dust, no warping. no fade, etc etc.).

Bit of pron attached from one of my builds.

Thanks for the info!

And holy crap that rotor looks huge...
