I remember when Recaro and Sabelt had these, but they used standard metal/plastic caster bases. Detail looks pretty good on these things.
There is a video on them (vimeo) somewhere as well...ah found it.

The company who makes it is a big floor mat company.

Ha, yea its a bit rice...but you can probably just throw it away
Its artwork essentially, for looks not function in terms of the mechanics.
Its a gimmicky thing that is a good conversation piece and is functional for an office...although I could probably machine up some trick aftermarket parts if you want for it

Only once? My son's frames would last perhaps one race weekend before they were back on the frame straightening table!

You should upgrade to a slotted rotor if you intend to track it.
