Interesting link where the author claims to have never seen a warped disc in twenty years of racing.
To which I would say, all but one of the illustrations show two-piece discs (with separate alloy bell, almost universally used in racing applications). And I agree, it is very hard to warp these and problems are likely to be related to pad deposits.
But that cracked disc, which looks like a one-piece disc, is that not warped? When mine did that, it was definitely warped - you could see it!
Also, I would question the definition of warping. If we say that a warped disc is one whose shape has been distorted by excessive heat, then he has certainly seen some warped discs!
Good reading, though
