CCB question
I have a 2018 AMG GTR i bought used about 6 months ago. My main reason for the purchase was to track it as i have a great track 15 miles from the house. I am new to CCBs and running on the track. I was getting my front brake pads changed out at MB and they pointed out a chip in my rear rotor. I was planning on doing one more track session before trading. My question is, with the small chip, should i get the rotors replaced before next track session?

So it can be easy to chip a CCM rotor if you don't take care changing wheels. That being said, the pad does not contact that specific area so you might well be fine continuing to use that specific rotor. You just have to keep a very close eye on it.
Also, you should be able to find one rear rotor for much less than $10K!!

I just had the front rotors (CCB) on our E63s replaced which use the same rotors. Price was $9500 for rotors/pads (pair).

Assume the pricing would be roughly the same but Ebay may have them cheaper. As Bish mentioned, the chip is outside the brake surface and shouldn't harm anything. No need to replace...

I should mention that our rotors were replaced under warranty but I wanted to get new pads just in case of potential embedded debris...

Update:
Mercedes told me I need to replace and not to track due to they could get hot and disentigrate . However I am constantly seeing people say it’s ok.
any other reassures out there? Has anyone ever seen a failure of CCB?

and the fact that the brake dust alone destroys the wheels and wells over time, having to use chemical cleaners etc.

Personally I would run on my local track if I had a small chip that was not in the pad contact zone like yours. I’d take it a little easier during the first session and keep a close eye on the rotor also.

Completed 4 sessions. Everything went great. Brakes worked fantastic. Overheated in session 3 in race mode but just shifted a little earlier in the turns on session 4 but everything went great. No additional chips formed on the rotor.

Are you saying you overheated the engine on a GTR on track? If so, that’s the first issue I’ve ever heard of anyone ‘overheating’ this car on a road course; especially weird given the time of the year. I run in ‘Race’ mode, and generally just let the car do it’s thing, and I’ve never came close to overheating anything even in a Kansas summer, and they’re bloody hot! lol

Well the car derated on the straight ( COTA Austin) but all was fine it picked back up I just took it to the pit to cool down. A few people I was talking to was recommending race specific brake fluid and oil. Anyone know any specifics on that .
but car performed great. I kept up/passed everyone in my group besides a pro driver an MP4. Know it’s not a faster car but damn the driver was good

I'm surprised the car overheated at COTA. Do you have a tune on the car?
Also, you need to upgrade the brake fluid to something more track oriented. Castrol SRF or similar. As for oil I would use the stock oil that comes with the car.

No tune on the car. Engine temp got to about 250 then lost about of power right before the back straight. Check engine light came on. Power picked back up but I just took it back to the garage to cool down. Ran last session no problem.
I got brave throughout the day and turned off traction little by little. Great feature on that car.

The best or nothing
CCB rotors can be refurbished for €1400 per rotor. They'll come out better than new.
CCBs are great and don't listen to chickens telling you how "scary costly" they are. Yes, they can get damaged but that's a really rare occurrence. At the end of the day the "AMG" CCB brake system is just a dead simple Brembo brake caliper, Brembo CC rotor and a Textar brake pad.
