Sphon,
The highest i got on my left side was 532F. This is after half a track warn down lap + pit lane entry time + me stopping at entrance to park + me running to my box to get the laser reader. This equals to about 120-140 seconds after the last serious braking zone.
On the other side, my laser temp reader couldn't read my friend M3 since it was maxed out at 608F... Don't forget that i: parked, ran, recorded my temps way before it took a reading of his rotors... I can't even imagine the initial heat these things had to sustain.
Notes on the 2010 BMW temps:
- car is new and has less than 8k miles;
- owner: is a national karting competiter.
Cheers,
Phil
