Might have cracked the front rotors on my 997GT3?

We might have cracked the front rotors at the last track event. Help please. Pictures are attached. Do I need to replace the rotors?

The hairlines are common on well used (as in tracked) steel rotors if that is what you are referring too (Im on a crap LCD monitor).
Occurs in no time when they heat up at the track after a few sessions. Your ok.

Don't worry about it. Until a crack connects 2 holes or a crack goes to the edge of the rotor, then it's a problem. Here's what mine look like after a couple days at the track.

-totally normal!You also get those cracks at a bit harder street driving or Autobahn highspeed runs.Normally you can say after 15k km u need to get new discs.I think you guys can get a lot more miles on it.

Exactly. Totally normal. Until a crack connects two holes, you are fine.
