The structure and the shape of a brake disc
The two most popular types of brake discs are solid and ventilated discs. Ventilated discs have cooling vanes between the braking surfaces which allows air to flow through, and has a cooling effect on the disc. More cars are becoming equipped with ventilated disc on the front brakes, and high-performance cars have ventilated discs on the front & rear.
