Could be right I suppose, Junior, I've seen many race cars that aim cooling at the 'eye' of the rotor... but the end goal is to cool the braking surface and this setup obviously goes right at it... we'll find out when we get the car to the track - I plan to take temp readings with and without the ducting - that'll be telling data... and if it still isn't enough, I may consider adding some evaporative cooling or redirecting so it also hits the center... but I suspect this setup will be more than adequate for 99.9% of amateur racers
If our resident brake experts happen to come by this thread, I'd be curious of their thoughts
btw, here's an example of brake cooling in a pro series
