For those of you who track your RS's, you may find that the discs don't hold up to much abuse - severe cracking after a few track days.
So, I have contacted AP and they have said that they will make a bespoke floating bell, which you fit standard AP GROOVED discs to. The cost for each bell is likely to be around £130. But from then on you need only to buy the standard AP grooved discs.
The grooved disc is far less prone to cracking, and also with the use of a floating bell/disc assembly, almost no likelihood of warping!
I have spoken to Colin (9M) whose is interested and is going to spec them up. Just need to send them a standard disc (although Colin believes we may be able to go slightly larger) and pad, so they have the sizing.
Anybody else out there interested??

Annual - you clearly aren't driving hard enough 
Er, that's 1500 track miles per year.....the last pair have done about 5,000 miles over 2 years or so.

For you it probably doesn't make sense. But for me and many others who go through discs in a matter of a few track days it does!
Why not try greasing your pads,that will reduce the friction and wear considerably.Thus saving a lot of money on discs.
I am actualy at the moment having some solid discs made using the old bells from the 993 turbo.This is to fit 993rs &turbo/gt2 and cup.
Will let you know how i get on.
I can get through a front set of discs in one test day plus a race at donington.

Mmmm -maybe it's because the car only weighs 1100kgs??
