Forget inboard brakes. They run hotter and are a PITA if something should go
wrong, especially with the rotor. Ask anyone who had an E type or an Audi
100LS.
Racing cars have plenty of ducting so they may be able to use them but I
hardly see any race cars with inboards anymore as the pads are too hard to
change during enduro races. They reduce unsprung weight on IRS setups but
they are a hassle.
