Ok, check. Fishing reels do get hot. Ferrari use reinforced carbon-carbon (

So, maybe vehicles have other requirements. But which?!
Doughnuts observation "pads would be glazed and overheat the rotors" is true but can be overcome with cross-drilling or slotting. Ok, that would, however, create even more surface for corrosive agents...
It is really an interesting subject. Yet the concerns for corrosion in reels doesn't necessarily apply to racing cars, where wheel changes are frequent.
Has anyone heard of ceramic drags for fishing reels?! Maybe they would be useful? Wikipedia has a note on them too (
