F1 and the deceased NA GTP cars run carbon-carbon braking systems. The advantages of carbon-carbon is not so much coefficient of grip as it is reduction in unsprung weight. Carbon-iron has a slightly higher coefficient of grip. The reason we don't see carbon-carbon for CART & IRL cars is cost. The cost of each carbon rotor is approx. $5,000 each. Can you afford that?
