    I have seen cars with the slots facing the other direction, forwards.
My Coleman rotors have slots that follow the directional vanes inside the
rotor.  According to a matey of mine the DTM cars are running slots in the
forwards direction vs. the traditional slanted back following the vanes
configuration.  Coleman can do slots going the opposite way of the vanes is
asked nicely.  Coleman says the slots are just pad wipers, no real cooling
benefits.  They keep the pad from glazing in high stress/heat apps, fires
slots.
