Frequent tracking (I am not talking about your typical driver ed fun weekends) wears off the brake calipers fast, resulting in huge replacement cost.
I love PCCB and I try to have it on all my Porsche sports cars.
What is ' frequent tracking ' ? How many days a year ?
What about not too many days, but very hard use/abuse when on the track ?
The problem is excessive wear of the discs. If they need replacement, it can get very expensive.
I would say that one or two abusive track days per year wouldn't hurt but keep in mind that the PCCB discs don't really last much longer than the steel discs when used very hard on the track, so you have kind of a benchmark how expensive PCCB can get if you track race it.
Very difficult assessment, I agree but those who usually spend only a couple of days per year on the track, do not abuse the brakes. Especially if they join those typical driver ed events.
