I think the point is that you should allow things to cool down before you park the car. That is why you always take a cool down lap at the track. Those rotors are over 900 degrees to glow like that. They are in very close proximity to many other (very important) components in your suspension which probably do not appreciate being cooked with no airflow to cool them off.

So,what's next spitting flames out of the exhaust?
I don't know maybe ventilated disk brakes would help them cool sooner

They are already vented, I think... Just not cross drilled.

I don't think so... I don't think it's even available in the fiesta ST... The car felt very playful with a lot of tail movement... It's not characteristic of torque vectoring car... Also, I did the run under traction off
