They are also not using steel rotors but rather some composite material so they can get away with it but you can't argue physics. Motion into heat requires surface area and removing material reduces surface area so do the math.

And those race cars get totally rebuilt after every race and aren't using Chinese rotors.
I wouldn't say I was being 'snarkly' at all. I'm not being an ******* so let's not start lobbing assumptions at each other. I'm not an engineer but I have a few years autocross racing experience which can tax brakes quite a bit and I've run only vented rotors(granted this season I swapped my autoX Nissan Hardbody to V6 twin piston calipers and non-slotted rotors...1/2" bigger diameter so I can go deeper into the turns with better late braking) but have not had any situations where I felt I needed slots. I won't even touch drilled for reasons stated above. For a daily driver IMO there is just no need for either slots or drilled. <<<None of this was typed in a snarky or ******* tone BTW.
So I guess the answer is if race cars use them, they are better for street use?
I still stand by my opinion that for street cars, they are 99% for looks.
