there is no way that can be safe.
picture that rotor spinning really slowly in your head...
now.. imagine the edge of a brake pad as the piston pushes it against that chip...
the chip will be like a pot hole for the edge of the brake pad and will get lodged in there...
need i say more ?
note:
i JUST finished smoking a joint..
and this has to be one of my better technical explanations i must admit.

I would say measure the gouge and see if it gets bigger while street driven but I would definately not track on this rotor.
Now where is my joint ?

the holes are too small to affect the brake pad.
do u smoke too ?
i would make a thread to see how many 6speeders smoked. i bet it would be a high (no pun intended) number.

And with that analogy the wheel that is going to run over that pothole is as wide as a steam roller barrel.
By Porsches own criteria chips are aloud. I myself would dress it and run the rotor so long as there is not delamination around the chip. The integrity of the ceramic rotors is very good.
If it was mine I would have no problems running it that way.
