Greatly increased wear life (over cast iron) is one of the more significant attributes of Carbo-Ceramic Material. From a financial standpoint, F1 and other racing markets could never support this technology. It was developed for a much heavier animal than F1; large aircraft and high-speed trains.
Surface Transforms, the company that manufactures the brakes for Brembo, recently completed a new, high-production facility that has enabled them to reduce the lead time from quote,"many weeks to several days".
Ferrari began racing F1 with Carbo-Ceramic brakes in 1999.
