I would be very surprised by this, but it's possible, I suppose. Like EVILR said, better pads on steel rotors for the track would be the way to go, I feel. The performance would be there, but when (not if, if one is tracking the car regularly) it comes times to replace brakes, you won't have to re-mortgage your house, haha.
I love my ceramics, too - the feel is FINALLY there (compared with ceramics on the Gallardo), and the lack of brake dust is fantastic. However, faced with tracking the car and thus eventually having to replace brakes.... yikes.
