This is easily solved by keeping your car in good condition and not driving like an r'tard.
My 2012 Fiat has solid (non vented) disks front and drums rear, and it will still go around a race track without significant fade. Anyone serious about performance driving will have a spare set of wheels and track tyres, so the problem of brake cooling on the street is all but imaginary.
It would be nice if we could get CD data on wheels, even if that data didn't mean much as it would be dependent on the way the wheel's aero interacts with the car body.
