What? I guess you're not aware that virtually every real race car that turns laps around a real track is equipped with air ducts for the brakes?

Again, what?

And finally, what?

These are some of the worst ideas for a track car I've ever heard. That hi-temp silicone hose is used for a reason, it flows a decent amount of air and it withstands high temperatures near the brakes. And your backing plate that attaches to the spindle needs to be a sturdy, well designed metal or composite piece, not some hacked up snorkus.
