Altho heavy rotors are more difficult to accelerate and decelerate---the quickest way around a track (TIME---TIC<TIC<TIC) or being able to set up a pass is the ability to OUTBRAKE others at some corners that can be approached at a high rate of speed----over the years the biggest increases in performance has come from brakes----------now while your discussing rotor weight, don't forget the flywheel-----------rotates 4-5 times higher rpm and also has to do it on every up/down shift---------
