Those brakes are probably no bigger than those found on a 1970's economy car.
I would increase the size of the rims significantly. Probably to 17-18 inch.

it wouldnt let me get bigger brakes so I went with the best ones. Plus they are lighter!

Also I think I omitted that info, how can you see the brakes? lol you must see them through the rims. Don't worry, they are carbon ceramic.

Also the tires are like that because of the superior grip.

All you need to figure the brake size is to see the wheel size. You can't fit big rotors in those wheels.

I already thought of this and changed it to say 21 inchers, it wouldn't let me go past 170mm for the brakes. I usually go with regular rotors, but the ceramics were a godsend.

That's odd. I can go over 170mm just fine on 21 inches.
Even the default size is bigger. (200mm)

It's going to be a deathtrap with those brakes.

Brake fade also matters. If you threw that around a track with a lot of long straights and tight corners for many laps, the brakes would wear out from the heat and become unusable.

The impressive time on the Airfield caught my attention, as did the price tag. It makes me want to know a few more things, as a potential direct competitor:

1) What's the car's average reliability?
2) What's the cited fuel economy figure?
3) What are the car's basic stats? (i.e. drivability, sportiness, prestige, comfort, safety)
4) Are these cars selling for much/any profit?
