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

These guys are running full-tilt for 24 hours here, 12 hours at Sebring and 24 again at Le Mans; they know their shit.

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. i believe the rs spyder uses carbo-ceramic brakes which in most cases are not as efficient with the slots and crossdrilling.

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