    bakit naman bibilis mabiyak? Most high-performance cars use slotted-drilled discs.

    The slots that we see on these types of rotors are actually machined in there to help remove dust and water found in racing conditions. These are not commonly found in regular cars because they tend to be harsh on the brake pads which wears them off quicker.

    As far as I know, cracks occur on the rotor when it is of poor build quality. Remember, brakes work hard too when the car is subjected to extreme driving.

    The advantage of slotted and drilled rotors is that it prevents the build up of water when driving in wet conditions, a plus in safety factor.

    where would the water come from in racing conditions?

    When it rains during a race. They only change the tires during pitstop but never the rotor disc.

    I'd suggest a slotted disc but not a cross drilled disc. The slots allow gas build up between the pad and the disc from accumulating without the risk of cracking that cross drilled rotor have and also allows cooling of the disc. If cross drilled rotors aren't done right they crack during use from heat and pressure applied by the pads. Disadvantages? I can't think of any for slotted disc other than AFAIK you can't resurface it because of the slots. I use a Power Slot disc for my car and it's made by Brembo combined with EBC Red Stuff heavy duty ceramic pads.

    Only stock brake rotors that are later drilled/milled to provide the holes/slots can be considered dangerous because it might shatter due to the added stress of the holes/slots.

    The main purpose of the holes is to provide a way for AIR to escape and prevent the brake pads from floating on a layer of high temp gasses escaping from the brake pads. The slots, on the other hand, provide a mechanism to clean the surface of the brakepad.
