The 24 Hours of Le Mans is a testament to endurance, not just for drivers but for the car's brakes as well. They must withstand extreme stress without failure for an entire day. These brakes, often made from carbon composites, can endure temperatures of over 1000°C - close to the melting point of many metals. This resilience has trickled down to consumer cars, enhancing safety and performance.
