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.

LOL, of course, typical big corp with new product, cannot blame them of course, very competitive market. At least you may be able to tell us how much fun it is

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.
