I thought it would be of use for those attending track days. There are other interesting articles on the subject.

Zag when they Zig
Interesting article there. If it's true that 'steel' brake discs aren't really steel at all, why is it that they are commonly referred to as steel? Bit of a strange one.
The article on that site about brake balance is also quite a good one. Some of the others look interesting if you have a heard for formulae and maths, but they were a little too much for me on a Sunday night!

Most road brakes are made from grey iron. For example, Holden's brake discs made in Port Melbourne are made from grey iron.Originally Posted by Jack_Bauer
Grey iron is technically a steel since it contains both austenite and graphite. This is why people in the industry sometimes refer to grey iron as steel with graphite inclusions.
