I'm no mechanical engineer, but it seems like 'overkill' for a car, even a race car.
Heat dissipation would be one consideration.

Ever see night photos of brake discs at 24 hr races ...glowing red hot?

Once you got heat built up in those baby's (they look like twin clutch-packs) ...that might be a problem.

Now for stopping a landing aircraft, or other applications...?
