Brake Fire

[dahappybanana]

What do you do when the SLR's brakes catch fire?

[Andrew2004az]

they are made to. they are carbon ceramic breaks and the glow red before the catch fire. It would take a ton of hard breaking to get them to burn. Even under hard racing it would take 10-15 laps to make them glow.

I know they are made to, but what do you do when thjey do catch fire, let it burn itself out?
