Interesting discussion on flaps for brake cooling. I'd be tempted to try a shape memory alloy flap actuator so the flap is opened when the brake exceeds some temperature or other. AFAIK all cars need to pass a brake test which consists of 10 consecutive rapid stops from 90% of maximum speed, so they should withstand a fair amount of heat soak.
