Front brakes overheating

This is what happens when you circuit race and overheat your brakes.
It even melted the wear sensor!

Having said that the rotors weren't warped even though they were 3mm undersized and the brakes were quiet and working just as well as fresh brakes.

I will add though that these pics are from a W210 E55 that I go racing with, I never cook my brakes, car is lighter and I'm not that hard on them anyway!
