Opposed to Bigger Brake Rotors
#29704 from John Lechner · No action required · Minutes (2020-12 Fastrack)
Thank you very much for your input regarding the recently recommended change to the max. rotor diameter specification. The
Adhoc Committee reviewed the decision to increase the rotor diameter at length. The discussion concluded, as many members
indicated, that the current rotor size is sufficient. The tire size is the primary limiting factor currently. But review of many of the
current suppliers of “off the shelf” brakes, the current limitation of rotor diameter excluded many of the available packages for
the current cars. We recognize that some might be compelled to change their current brake systems, but hope the majority of
competitors running current specifications, and 16 inch wheels, recognize it is not necessary to change their current hardware to
be competitive. The primary objective of this change was to provide inexpensive options for competitors that provide effective
brake capacity and high durability.
