When Chris and I spot at Daytona for the Rolex, we're directly opposite the "Bus Stop" chicane on the far side of the track. Even from that distance, you can clearly see the front rotors of most cars get red hot as they approach the chicane.

All of the TRG-prepped Porsches run some sort of ceramic brake pads, along with cross-drilled and vented rotors, just to prevent brake fade in competition.
