do a google for Porsche Engineering. They have some PDFs on their website and you will also find some contact details.

Did something similar for a piece of coursework at uni.

IIRC there was a very good article in evo a while back. I'm not sure I've still got the mag though.

Try googling for silicon carbide and brakes and you should find something useful.

HTH.

You could try writing a letter to the brake manufacturers,e.g. Brembo, AP, also try writing to Prodrive and say Williams F1
