I wonder if anyone has experienced brake failure through their ceramic discs deteriorating so that the surface of the disc has rapidly worn away the pad thereby resulting in an accident or injury. Please let me know as I am investigating this as a similar thing happened to my GT2 brakesat only 15,000 miles.

Paul's grievance isn't a new one, he raised the same question on several forums last year.

Not total brake failure, but enough lack of retardation to make any car, let alone a 200mph one dangerous.

Paul PM me if you wish to discuss further.
