What kind of rotors do race cars use?
All NASCAR cars must have disc brakes on all four wheels, with rotors manufactured from magnetic cast iron or steel, with a diameter of no more than 12.72 inches.
Do slotted rotors work better?
Slotted rotors work very well for heavy trucks, SUVs, off road vehicles, tow trucks, and competition cars. It is particularly important to choose high quality brake rotors when picking a slotted style. This style of brake rotor delivers improved consistency with every stop, by reducing the friction in the brake pads.
Why are slotted rotors better?
Slotted rotors do not improve any heat transfer. However, the slots can improve brake output by removing gas and dust that is trapped between the pad and rotor. This gas and dust reduces the friction force by preventing the pad from fully contacting the rotor.
