Ceramic Matric Composite brake rotors

The MotoGP rotors are probably still carbon-carbon but some of the exotic street rotors are ceramic.

MotoGP Entry List 2006
Provisional Line-Up

SuperbikePlanet.com article -
Here is the provisional entry list for the 2006 MotoGP series, released by
the F.I.M. yesterday. The WCM/Bimota team have included young
American Jason Perez as their second rider, teaming up with veteran Brit,
Jeremy McWilliams. Bimotas. Hmmm. Do Bimota have a MotoGP spec
engine built and tested? If so, when did this project see it's genesis?
A second entry for the Tech 3 team is also listed, provisionally, and the
rider is thought to be Carlos Checa, as reported here earlier this week.
