they are solid. they don't dissipate heat as well as the vented fronts. mostly a problem with turbo cars.
I don't think its necessarily only rears though.

It may also be people leaving their handbrake on after a track session.

A little from column A and a little from column B.
We see the same issues on other marque cars with cross drilled rotors - they aren't worth the ago.

Think the bigger issue is them cracking during a race. More important to do pre-emptive measures.
