Indycar changed from steel brakes to carbon ceramic brakes as the carbon ceramic brakes are actually
cheaper because they last longer: multiple race meetings from a set of rotors...
Say Mr. Mallett are you for or against direct injection and the turbulent jet injection currently used (that allows for ultra-lean mixtures and high efficiency, by having a separate richer pre-combustion mixture)? These technologies greatly increase thermal efficiency, whether it's NA or turbo. Returning to port injection would arguably be a retrograde step...
