It is very rare and almost impossible to warp a Porsche rotor.
What generally is called a warped rotor is brake pad deposits on the rotor face.
Every time the pads go over that patch it will grab a little more, causing the vibration.
This is common at the track, when rotors are extremely hot and people come to a complete stop and leave their foot on the brake pedal.
The patch just cooks for a second or two right to the rotor.
When at the track lift your foot off the brakes just before coming to a full stop and also don't engage the e-brake, leave the car in gear.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
