I understand circuit racers wanting rear disc brakes as they cool faster than drums.
Oh absolutely, and this is a perfect demonstration of what I'm on about. Circuit racing is completely unlike any form of road driving, even that of the most 'spirited' nature. The idea that a road car needs brakes that react like a race car's is frankly dangerous.
Simple example: How many race cars need to be able to do a crash stop with cold brakes? They have plenty of time to get pads and discs up to proper operating temperature. What racer cares if the brakes are a bit dodgy when cold? In a road car it's an absolute must.
