The McLaren Senna is engineered as a no-compromise, track-focused platform, where braking efficiency, thermal stability, and serviceability are critical under sustained high-load conditions. As a supercar performance shopspecializing in exotic car tuning and professional McLaren service, DEIZ GARAGE regularly prepares vehicles of this caliber for intensive track day use.
While the factory CCB (carbon-ceramic brake) system delivers excellent performance on the road, its limitations become clear during regular track driving. High operating costs, limited brake pad selection, complex brake maintenance, and an increased risk of brake fade under continuous thermal load make CCB replacement less practical for dedicated circuit use.
For this project, a full carbon-ceramic replacement was carried out using a GiroDisc two-piece floating steel rotor system — a proven steel brake conversion developed specifically for track environments. This solution provides consistent braking performance, improved heat dissipation, and significantly lower operating costs compared to carbon-ceramic systems, while preserving the precision and control expected from high-performance brakes.
The GiroDisc system features a two-piece floating design that combines an aluminum hat with a high-carbon iron rotor ring. This configuration improves thermal control and reduces stress transfer between the rotor and hub during extreme temperature cycles. High-carbon alloy rotor rings offer increased strength and durability, while billet floating hardware ensures controlled thermal expansion, preventing rotor distortion and maintaining stable pedal feel throughout extended track sessions.
This upgrade allows the use of motorsport-grade brake pad compounds with predictable friction characteristics and improved modulation. Compared to ceramic systems, the steel setup delivers clearer driver feedback and greater confidence during threshold braking.
From a service perspective, the system offers significant advantages: only the rotor ring requires replacement during servicing, while the aluminum hat is retained. This approach reduces long-term brake maintenance costs by up to ten times compared to full carbon-ceramic replacement, making the setup far more suitable for regular track use.
The braking upgrade was completed with high-temperature racing brake fluid, ensuring stable pedal pressure and consistent braking performance during extended track sessions.
This McLaren Senna project highlights DEIZ GARAGE’s experience working with high-performance vehicles, delivering a reliable, track-proven braking solution designed for demanding circuit use.
