Hopefully I can find out a little more at Le Mans in a couple of weeks. Anyone else going?

Grant,

Exactly! That thought is what prompted my question.

GT2 has always been the model to champion carbon ceramic discs (since 996) - I'd be surprised to see a change from lightweight rotors (even without consideration of the new calipers).

I'm fervently hoping (without any solid info) that they convert to Surface-Transform-style (woven mat vs chopped fiber) ceramic rotors so that the track durability is more economic.

I guess it won't be long before we find out!
