I bet that will be a special event Mike, and you tell us all about it ;)

Do you have one on order?

I don't know what I'll be able to say when I come home from the event. I just received a mandatory non-disclosure agreement in the mail along with a hard-cover pre-event brochure/book.

OK, I'm back from the 918 event.

During our tour of the Weissach work shops I cornered a high-up chassis development engineer and asked him if the 918 PCCB brakes were going to be more durable than the ones on the Carrera GT. He had a quizzical look on his face so I told him about my track experiences.

When we were absolutely out of earshot of anyone else he said that even though PCCB is probably a "forever" rotor on the street, they are wear parts on the track.

I just ordered Mov'It rotors for my Carrera GT.
