Anything new regarding this?

I know my front brakes get awfully hot even with the small Stillen ducting. Even the XP10s on the front were getting pretty thick visible deposit buildup on the rotor surface last weekend. After a while I could definitely feel the rough surface of the rotor in the brake pedal in a few brake zones. Didn't warp or significantly crack the rotors though. I did drive around the paddock for a few minutes after the cooldown lap and pushed my car back and forth a bit after I parked it. Thinking of hacksawing a shallow tangential groove (and filing the edges) into the middle of the XP10s since they dont have one (even though I do use slotted rotors) and they do have those 2 small holes which are maybe intended to perform the same function?

Actually, come to think of it I did quickly borrow an IR and hit my right front rotor last weekend. I think it was right up close to 600, obviously after the cooldown lap and parking it.
