PMNA response to PCCB track use question
I ran into some Porsche Motorsport folks in Sebring a couple of weeks ago and asked about PCCB durability on the track. Here's the response I got today:
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">
The PCCB brakes are suitable for race track usage, but you have to change the pads to PAGID P50-RS14 (green). These pads are available from PMNA. Please contact Phoebe in the parts department directly.
The estimated lifetime of the PCCB rotors is about 1500 miles (EDIT: I believe that means track miles and Sebring was the track in question). Please check the rotors and pads periodically.
... (response to GT3 gearing question removed)
Like I always state, tell your friends at PCA to contact PMNA directly with ANY questions regarding "new" cars. We will try our best to help, because we see this service also as an important part of Porsche. Unfortunately, many people in PCA believe that PMNA only cares about the important racing customers, but luckily this is absolutely not true.

Colm,
Yes (and thanks for your input there). I am also going to keep looking into installing conventional rotors & pads with the PCCB calipers so I have the option of "less expensive" brakes for track events where I'd be putting lots of miles on the car. I figure replacing the PCCB rotors every 2 years would still hurt but less so than every year
