Leftlane reader Alex Clowers provided us with some cool photos from the 2006 Petit Le Mans endurance race at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia. The event took place this past weekend, where the Audi R10 diesel race car was again victorious. As one might expect, we have photos of the R10, as well as the recently-introduced Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. If racing and exotic cars are your thing, have a look at our gallery after the jump…

The pictures are zoomed in too far but they’re cool, nonetheless.

Looking at the closeups of the wheels I noticed the brake discs aren’t slotted or drilled. Wouldn’t that improve performance of these kind of cars round a track?

i believe the rs spyder uses carbo-ceramic brakes which in most cases are not as efficient with the slots and crossdrilling. I know the C5Rs werent crossdrilled but I can’t find a picture to verify the C6Rs brakes but they do not look cut in any way either. Also check the PLM footage, corvette team pulled the discs and calipers and I don’t remember them being cut at all.

If there were any benefit in cross-drilling and/or slotting those rotors you can be they would be that way. These guys are running full-tilt for 24 hours here, 12 hours at Sebring and 24 again at Le Mans; they know their ****.

BTW it’s really cool how quiet the R10 is. It barely whistles as it goes by… F___ing awesome.
