Girodisc Super Ultralite Rotors Group Buy

Buschur now has a group buy set up for the ultralite Girodisc rotors I ran last year. Call his shop if you want to get in on it. I think he said they need 5 orders to make them.

Legal for SM and BSP. Not legal in STU or AS classes.

Here is Buschur's thread:

these are legal in STU also. unless the fastrack proposals actually go through that would make them illegal for both bsp and stu.

Oh yeah? I was told not to get them.

Jarrod, would it be a good idea to add to your review that the discs are very suitable for street use? I heard that the powers-that-be read that they wouldn't be good for street application, hence the proposal ban.

There is no "proposed ban". It's right there in the 2010 rules - it IS banned for STU. . .

14.6.E: STX and STU: Non-standard brake rotors may be used provided they
are of equal or larger dimensions (diameter and thickness) and made
of ferrous material (e.g. iron). Thickness includes the individual plates
of a vented rotor, as well as the overall dimension.

This has NOTING to do with streetability or safety (although that was their argument) and EVERYTHING to do with inter and intra-class politics. . .

These are perfectly streetable. Period. No question about that.

I reread your thread and the rotors sound perfectly good for normal use. I agree the rule is political. IMO - There is a certain person who swiss cheesed his rotors, and doesn't want anyone else to able to buy an advantage in ST - IMO of course. Same with the ban on ST aero that almost went through. They can't cite safety since faster SP/SM cars can use them. Did I say IMO?

And which do you think is safer for stopping a race car - a racing spec $400 Ferrari rotor that is worn (or machined) down maybe just a little past what the MFR states - or a $20 OEM flat blade 10" rear rotor from any old 80's crapbox??

ALSO, with regards to cross drilling your rotors - I would LOVE to see a scientific test of a rotor lightened 20% via cross drilling vs. lightened 20% with this method. I will put $$$$$$$$ on the thin walled discs holding up longer with the cross drilled ones cracking and flying apart sooner.

Sorry, I get worked up on this issue. I spent 2 years trying to get these things made and right when they finally came out this stupid rule comes along.

I'm glad I'm in Street Mod!
