I'm guessing they let out a massive shreak and vibration... so would you:
- gently slow down and coast to the pits
- lock brakes, stop immediately, get towed to pits
- get off course ASAP, try not to catch the grass on fire, get towed to pits
- try to maintain rotor temp so they don't crack open, casually drive to pits

I'm guessing those rotors probably had some small fractures before the event or run. They got really hot and expanded. Then cooled down and those small fractures turned into what you see there. I don't think they catastrophically failed during a run or there would be a damage pic.
This AP kit seems like a real winner. If they fit my wheels, I'm definitely buying a set. If they don't fit my wheels I guess I have to get new wheels first eh?
