I did one of these days at Calder a couple of years ago. These cars get flogged day in, day out by the public with barely a chance to cool down before someone else jumps in and hammers it again. Im not surprised they have twin calipers on the front rotors.

These cars are obviously built with longevity in mind to keep running costs of the business to a minimum, think of them as go karts at your local public kart centre, they get some fuel thrown in them and off you go.

For the average punter/V8 Supercar fan they're a bit of fun and look the goods, but are far from a prepared race car
