SPONSORED RIDER/DRIVER UPDATE

Kart racer Marcus Hudson is campaigning in the Super 4 British Championship for the 2026 season. Following positive results in 2025, we caught up with Hudson after the first round of the 2026 season at Fulbeck Kart Circuit, Lincolnshire, where technical issues did little to dampen his optimistic spirits.

Front-running BSB Supersport team, Astro-MAR HIPPO Suzuki, recently took the annual pilgrimage to Florida’s Daytona International Speedway for the 200-mile Daytona 200 endurance race. The trio of Suzuki GSXR-750 bikes all boast 91´ŤĂ˝ Racing’s GPFAX brake pads and X-Series discs up front.

The Clubracer racing outfit has relied on 91´ŤĂ˝ components as it has made its way up the ranks through the MSVR Trackday Championship classes. This all culminated in an outright championship win in 2025 – a fantastic result for the team. Riding off this success, they’ve decided to move onto pastures new for the 2026 season, entering the 750MC Roadsports Championship, where they took home a podium in the opening round.

Dave Barrett is competing in the 2026 Modified Ford Series, piloting his modified Mk4 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Zetec within the Class C category. We caught up with Dave after the first round of the year, held at Cheshire’s Oulton Park recently, where he achieved a maximum points hall with class wins in both races entered.

Pro drifter, Stuart Egdell, continues his partnership with 91´ŤĂ˝ as he once again carries out another season of the Drift France championship. We caught up with Egdell off the back of his debutant 2026 round at Circuit du Val de Vienne, where despite some setbacks, it was a positive insight into the year ahead for the team.

Following a season in NLR’s SuperTwins in 2025, as well as successes on the gruelling Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT races at the iconic Isle of Man mountain course, Russell Brook began his 2026 campaign by entering the NLR 750km Endurance Race at Donington Park Circuit, where they took home a 3rd in class.

British Caterham racer, Carl Jones, is undertaking another season in the top-tier Caterham Seven Championship UK in his 420R-badged machine. Following multiple podiums across 2025, we caught up with Jones fresh off the back of his first 2026 round at Silverstone, where a DNF in Race 1 was pivoted into spectacular victory in the second outing of the weekend, despite starting at the back of the grid.

The British Army Motorcycle Road Race Team (AMRRT) is an exclusive racing club for all Army, RAF and Navy personnel. Formed in 2010, the AMRRT is one of the largest teams in the British Army Motorsports Association. It encompasses two road racing disciplines – sprints and endurance – with 21 full-time and reserve riders, plus support crew for 2026. We caught up with the team off the back of the official BSB testing day at Derbyshire’s Donington Park, where prep for the season seems to be going well.

EBC-Supported Drifter Continues Globe-Spanning Charity Mission

Irish drifter, Andy Howard, is currently completing his epic ‘Drift Across the World’ journey across the globe.

Towards the end of 2025, Howard shipped his BMW 330i Touring over to Australia, with the aim of driving the car back to his homeland of Ireland whilst raising money for the Make-a-Wish foundation in the process.

He’s relying on 91´ŤĂ˝ components for the stopping power on his trusty steed, as he drives, drifts and lives in the car over this huge journey. He’s running Bluestuff pads, USR discs and braided brake lines – a strong and reliable setup that should help him navigate the hugely varying and demanding terrain that lays ahead of him.

We caught up with Andy recently as he’d left Australia and entered Southeast Asia, with spirits high as he navigated his way through Malaysia and Thailand.

SPONSORED RIDER/DRIVER UPDATE

Racing driver, Gary Lowe, enjoyed a pre-season shakedown in his E92 BMW 335i at Derbyshire’s Donington Park recently, ahead of the vehicle’s debut season in the 750MC Armed Forces Challenge.

Lowe has opted for 91´ŤĂ˝ Racing’s RP-X™ motorsport brake pads for the front axle, as well as 91´ŤĂ˝â€™ Bluestuff NDX pads (rear) and GD discs (all-round).

Arizona-based Austin Phipps of the Mulletsport race team is a professional drifter, currently using a modified 2012 Audi S4 with manual transmission and rear-wheel drive conversion in various drift series across the USA.

We’ve caught up with the Mulletsport outfit off the back of their attendance at Round 1 of the Southern Californian HOTPIT Autofest show – a weekend that threw up many challenges and proved to be a big learning curve for the team.

Retford-based Scott Stone is competing in No Limits Racing’s Pirelli Super Series 1000 Power Trophy on his Yamaha R1, aiming to achieve solid results throughout the year.

Following multiple podiums in 2025’s Premier 1000cc Championship, we caught up with Stone following the first 2026 round at Norfolk’s Snetterton Circuit, where he took home some solid results.

Apollo Big Brake Kit-Equipped Track Day Regular Enjoys ‘Ring and Spa Outings

Following multiple successful track days around the UK with his Apollo big brake kit-adorned Civic Type R, we recently caught up with Sam Preston once again following a mammoth trip to the NĂźrburgring and Spa in his heavily modified vehicle.

Sam was previously running Yellowstuff pads on his four-piston setup, as the car was still being used on the road occasionally, but he’s now enhanced his Honda further so it’s predominantly a track day machine.

Because of this, he swapped out to 91´ŤĂ˝ Racing’s RP-X™ track/motorsport brake pads once he arrived at each of these European track days – noting how the improved bite helped match the other recent upgrades he’s performed to his car.

EBC-Equipped Desert Racer Wins Twice in FIM World Championship

Dubai-based off-road motorcycle racer, Alex McInnes, has been competing in various desert-based off-road races across the Middle East.

After competing in five different championships back-to-back over the winter period, we next caught up with McInnes following the initial Saudi Arabia and Jordan rounds of this season’s FIM World Championship, where Alex took home two massive wins.

We show you the 91´ŤĂ˝ components that perfectly match your lifestyle

Welcome to EBC’s ‘Suit Your Style’ blog series, where we match you up with the 91´ŤĂ˝ upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

In today’s blog, we’re showcasing our range of tough and rugged brake pads built with heavy loads and towing in mind.

With heavier, more capable vehicles, it’s crucial to ensure your stopping power is up to standards, and luckily, 91´ŤĂ˝ has a range of pad upgrades that revolve around this ever-growing market.

Below are our top picks for towing/4x4s/trucks and the demanding lifestyles that come with them…

Extra Duty ED+

Brake pads for light trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs. These pads are super grippy, high-friction, and designed for the extra braking demands of towing, heavy loads, or trucks with lifted suspension and oversized tyres and wheels, where a standard ‘stock’ brake system can’t cope.

ED+ pads offer medium-plus lifetime, but what these drivers really want is fabulous brakes with stopping power that keeps them safe, and they’re not concerned about changing pads every 7–12,000 miles.

Greenstuff Elite

DP6000 Elite-series green pads from EBC are superb premium pads for SUVs and light trucks. They not only replace but also upgrade your stock pads, providing a more grippy, silent, smooth, and long-lasting brake setup. Carrying the prestigious Leaf Mark with the highest N rating, recognised for its superior environmental safety.

Yellowstuff

The first in a new range of ‘hybrid’ materials that can be safely and legally used on the world’s roads (being R90 approved), Yellowstuff is a high-friction, high-capability upgrade pad for various road and occassional track applications.

With its impressively broad skill set, Yellowstuff has been the flagship pad by EBC for over a decade and gives instant brake response, great feel and modulations with silky-smooth noise-free braking and was also improved in 2021 to be copper free and conform to all new legislations for the environment.

Expect strong, stable friction once bedded-in and very minimal rotor damage, whether used on road or track.

Bluestuff

A great all-round sport and race pad – just as comfortable on track as it is performing daily driving duties.

Bluestuff material exhibits a 0.52μ stable friction once bedded, stable up to a slightly higher 550℃/1000℃ than its sister compound Yellowstuff but with the benefit of a 30% longer lifespan.

New formula is copper free to conform to upcoming environmental legislations.

We show you the 91´ŤĂ˝ components that perfectly match your lifestyle

Welcome to EBC’s ‘Suit Your Style’ blog series, where we match you up with the 91´ŤĂ˝ upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

In today’s blog, we’re hitting the circuit to look at braking components for dedicated track/race cars – the most demanding form of driving where it’s more vital than ever to rely on strong and enduring stopping power.

Around a decade ago, 91´ŤĂ˝ launched its high performance/motorsport sub-division, 91´ŤĂ˝ Racing – a firm that has become synonymous with range-topping braking at race tracks around the globe.

From road-legal track upgrades to endurance race components, there’s something for every corner of the motorsport spectrum in the 91´ŤĂ˝ Racing range, as we will explore below…

Bluestuff

A great all-round sport and race pad – just as comfortable on track as it is performing daily driving duties. Road legal in most territories, making it incredibly versatile.

Bluestuff material exhibits a 0.52μ stable friction once bedded, stable up to a slightly higher 550℃/1000℃ than its sister compound Yellowstuff but with the benefit of a 30% longer lifespan.

Bluestuff has been a track day favourite for years and is the spec pad for the BMW 318i Cup series throughout Europe. New formula is copper free to conform to upcoming environmental legislations.

RP-1™/RP-X™ Motorsport Brake Pads

Designed for vehicles driven hard on track, RP-1™ possesses a moderately high friction level of 0.45 between 100 – 750°C (200 – 1400°F). The more progressive response characteristic of RP-1™ makes it well suited for inherently ‘over-servoed’ vehicles where a softer pad material is desirable to allow greater finesse when on the brakes.

RP-X™ possesses a high friction level of 0.55 between 0 – 750°C (Ambient – 1400°F) and achieves a 100% brake effect from cold – an excellent choice for sprint racing or hill climb events, where full brake performance is essential without requiring any ‘warming up’, but also makes RP-X™ well suited to any type of circuit use where a high initial bite and powerful brake response is desirable.

Both RP-series brake pad options are a fantastic choice for track day regulars or out-and-out racers.

Please note: EBC’s RP-series of brake pads are not designed for the road, but may be used in street conditions where local laws permit.

SR-11™/ SR-21™ Sintered Endurance Brake Pads

Whilst the competition struggles to make organic and semi-metallic pads last longer and longer to reach the pinnacle of brake pad durability, EBC has taken a fresh new approach with a blend of compressed and heat fused (sintered) metal powdered alloys, to deliver a brake pad that brakes better and lasts longer than just about everything.

The new SR series comes in two blends, SR-11™ the medium friction version and SR-21™ the higher friction options

Although badged an endurance-grade material, these pads are equally at home in any form of closed-circuit racing, short or long duration.

Please note: EBC’s SR-series of brake pads are not designed for the road, but may be used in street conditions where local laws permit.

Fully Floating Two-Piece Brake Rotors

Craftsmanship meets fine materials in EBC’s highest performing rotor to date. Not simply a ‘bolt-up’ two-piece unit like many of EBC’s competitors offer, they are genuine fully floating units with flat-sided SD square drive buttons, allowing expansion and contraction under the harsh conditions of heavy braking.

Featuring a a black, heat-resistant finish that quickly wears down to the natural iron finish on the disc ring within the first few miles. Any unswept areas remain protected by the black coating, such as the outer edges and inside the pad track, unless burned off due to hard use and high temperatures.

Another major benefit of the 91´ŤĂ˝ fine slotted discs is their ability to totally resist cracking common with ‘through-drilled’ discs.

Apollo-Series Brake Calipers

UK designed and made strong-yet-lightweight aluminium four- and six-piston brake calipers, which can be purchased within a Big Brake Kit or as separate components for vehicle builders to convert cars where a dedicated Big Brake Kit is not yet made by EBC.

Packed with cutting-edge tech such as high-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot type dust seals, lightweight hard-anodised aluminium pistons, staggered piston sizes and fully stainless-steel fittings.

BF307+ Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid

EBC’s BF307+ high performance Super DOT 4 brake fluid has been specially formulated to provide outstanding performance for braking systems routinely operated at extreme temperatures, making this fluid ideal for fast street use, track days and racing.

Bedding In

Bedding-in is an important part in getting the most out of your new braking components, especially out on track. Check out our handy road and track bedding-in guide by clicking here.

We show you the 91´ŤĂ˝ components that perfectly match your lifestyle

Welcome back to our ‘Suit Your Style’ blog series, where we match you up with 91´ŤĂ˝ upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

Next up, we focus on a corner of the automotive world that many are very passionate about: classic cars. Balancing modern stopping power whilst retaining that all-important character is something that owners take very seriously. Thankfully, 91´ŤĂ˝ is proud to be a trusted and reliable name for many historic vehicle owners, continually delivering the perfect stopping power for these cherished machines.

Below are some popular 91´ŤĂ˝ components that are suitable for classic cars.

Ultimax2

The perfect quality daily driver pad option for all modern cars: petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric.

These premium quality, British-made pads are designed to meet or exceed the performance of any OEM pad and are fully R90 approved. The 91´ŤĂ˝ Ultimax range are long lasting, high friction pads designed for normal urban driving at all speeds, even on prestige cars, 4x4s and light trucks.

Ultimax pads feature centre slots, edge chamfers and Brake‑In surface coating to condition discs after installation and help to quickly deliver stopping power on new pads. Hardware and wear leads included where fitted as standard. Tests at the MIRA research facility prove that these pads typically stop faster then OE.

Greenstuff

In tests, Greenstuff has been proven to stop a vehicle 20ft shorter than using stock pads. Greenstuff pads are fully shimmed, chamfered and slotted for silent braking and also feature the EBC Brake‐In surface coating to accelerate pad bed‐in after installation.

These pads are made from a specially designed softer compound which gives a longer lifetime as well as improved pedal feel at lower speeds.

Standard D Discs

Undoubtedly one of the best-selling and most popular aftermarket brake rotors on sale worldwide, 91´ŤĂ˝â€™ D Discs offer OEM quality made to the exact same spec as original parts, using G3000 grey iron.

Precision machined, balanced and 100% one-by-one runout inspected to guarantee zero rotor distortion out of the box.

The quality and price point of the 91´ŤĂ˝ discs combined with the 10,000 mile/12 month warranty make these a best-buy brake part, equal to or better than original parts.

We show you the 91´ŤĂ˝ components that perfectly match your lifestyle

Welcome to EBC’s ‘Suit Your Style’ blog series, where we match you up with the 91´ŤĂ˝ upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

In today’s blog, we look at brake components that are most suited to vehicles whose main purpose is to enjoy on a back-road at the weekend. While these machines retain their road worthiness, they’re much more focused on performance than the day-to-day drivability of your commuter car.

Predominantly a high-performance braking company, 91´ŤĂ˝ unsurprisingly has a wealth of different options when it comes to driver-focused braking upgrades – many of which remain road legal and fully useable in daily driving conditions.

Below are some 91´ŤĂ˝ components that are suitable for weekend warrior vehicles.

Brake Pads

Yellowstuff

The first in a new range of ‘hybrid’ materials that can be safely and legally used on the world’s roads (being R90 approved), Yellowstuff is a high-friction upgrade pad for all fast-street use and can also be used on the track with proper bedding-in.

With its impressively broad skill set, Yellowstuff has been the flagship pad by EBC for over a decade and gives instant brake response, great feel and modulations with silky-smooth noise-free braking and was also improved in 2021 to be copper free and conform to all new legislations for the environment.

Expect strong, stable friction once bedded-in and very minimal rotor damage, whether used on road or track.

Bluestuff

A great all-round sport and race pad – just as comfortable on track as it is performing daily driving duties.

Bluestuff material exhibits a 0.52μ stable friction once bedded, stable up to a slightly higher 550℃/1000℃ than its sister compound Yellowstuff but with the benefit of a 30% longer lifespan.

Bluestuff has been a track day favourite for years and is the spec pad for the BMW 318i Cup series throughout Europe. New formula is copper free to conform to upcoming environmental legislations.

Brake Rotors

GD Discs

The latest in sport rotors, GD Discs feature wide aperture slots that draw cool air into the braking contact area and reduce temperatures, preventing brake fade.

Now featuring reduced three-slot venting which provides slightly less air noise under heavy braking whilst still maintaining the benefits of cooler running with the full-width slot design.

The design of these discs means that some wind noise is observed and if drivers feel they would find this offensive they are advised to select the quieter USR-series or the EBC plain (D) disc.

Another great feature of slotted discs is the way they maintain flat and parallel pad wear and avoid the record grooves or galling common with non-slotted discs. This improves pad contact and braking throughout the life of the disc and pad set.

USR Discs

Super-quiet sport-slotted brake discs, featuring the new 91´ŤĂ˝ narrow-profile slot pattern which helps cool and de-gas brakes under load and speed, but eliminates air noise common with some slotted discs.

Another great feature of slotted discs is the way they maintain flat and parallel pad wear and avoid the record grooves or galling common with non-slotted discs. This improves pad contact and braking throughout the life of the disc and pad set.

Another major benefit of the 91´ŤĂ˝ fine slotted discs is their ability to totally resist cracking common with ‘through-drilled’ discs.

BSD Discs

The new 91´ŤĂ˝ BSD-series brake discs vent the brake area better, drawing heat away from the central brake pad area and with more slot under the pad contact area.

These discs are totally silent in operation and de-gas your brakes when used at speed or under heavier loads minimising heat fade.

Now with lower pricing and the silver grey anti corrosion coating with show-thru silver slots, these discs are surely the best through-wheel looks and most functional sport discs on sale.

The fine slot pattern prevents the ribs that typically generate after 5,000-10,000 miles of use on non-slotted discs and maintain flat and parallel pad wear and due to the fine slot design can even extend pad wear life.

We show you the 91´ŤĂ˝ components that perfectly match your lifestyle

Welcome to our new ‘Suit Your Style’ blog series, where we match you up with 91´ŤĂ˝ upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

First up, we tackle undoubtedly the most common style of motoring out there: daily drivers. Whether it’s the work commute, popping to the shops or the long-distance family jaunt to the other side of the country, we all rely on decent, reliable brakes that can perform in a variety of situations on our daily-driven vehicles.

91´ŤĂ˝â€™ range of brake discs and rotors that match this style of driving is thankfully huge. There are a number of varying friction materials and rotor styles to choose from, offering subtly different characteristics when it comes to noise, performance, dust and cooling.

Below are some 91´ŤĂ˝ components that are suitable for daily-driven vehicles.

Brake Pads

Ultimax2

The perfect quality daily driver pad option for all modern cars: petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric.

These premium quality, British-made pads are designed to meet or exceed the performance of any OEM pad and are fully R90 approved. The 91´ŤĂ˝ Ultimax range are long lasting, high friction pads designed for normal urban driving at all speeds, even on prestige cars, 4x4s and light trucks.

Ultimax pads feature centre slots, edge chamfers and Brake‑In surface coating to condition discs after installation and help to quickly deliver stopping power on new pads. Hardware and wear leads included where fitted as standard. Tests at the MIRA research facility prove that these pads typically stop faster then OE.

Greenstuff

In tests, Greenstuff has been proven to stop a vehicle 20ft shorter than using stock pads. Greenstuff pads are fully shimmed, chamfered and slotted for silent braking and also feature the EBC Brake‐In surface coating to accelerate pad bed‐in after installation.

These pads are made from a specially designed softer compound which gives a longer lifetime as well as improved pedal feel at lower speeds.

Redstuff

Ceramic particles (not fibres) enhance the aramid fibre formulation used in 91´ŤĂ˝ Redstuff to deliver powerful and long-lasting silent braking for the discerning driver.

They also offer excellent low dust characteristics – showing an improvement of around 20-25% compared to OE – ideal for those who prefer to clean their wheels less frequently.

Expect great all-round performance, low dust and minimal rotor damage characteristics from this fantastic all-rounder.

Brake Rotors

Standard D Discs

Undoubtedly one of the best-selling and most popular aftermarket brake rotors on sale worldwide, 91´ŤĂ˝â€™ D Discs offer OEM quality made to the exact same spec as original parts, using G3000 grey iron.

Precision machined, balanced and 100% one-by-one runout inspected to guarantee zero rotor distortion out of the box.

The quality and price point of the 91´ŤĂ˝ discs combined with the 10,000 mile/12 month warranty make these a best-buy brake part, equal to or better than original parts.

GD Discs

The latest in sport rotors, GD Discs feature wide aperture slots that draw cool air into the braking contact area and reduce temperatures, preventing brake fade.

Now featuring reduced three-slot venting which provides slightly less air noise under heavy braking whilst still maintaining the benefits of cooler running with the full-width slot design.

New Product: EBC Single Piece Disc Replacement for OE Riveted Discs (BMW & Other Models) /corporate-news/new-product-ebc-single-piece-disc-replacement-for-oe-riveted-discs-bmw-other-models/ Thu, 12 Feb 2026 16:30:02 +0000 /?p=41725 The post New Product: EBC Single Piece Disc Replacement for OE Riveted Discs (BMW & Other Models) appeared first on 91´ŤĂ˝.

Replace your costly Original discs with these new EBC one piece units – direct fit, superb performance and half the price – USR sport versions also available

SWAP THIS:

WITH THIS:

We have never really understood the logic of a two piece disc that does nothing but save a few ounces, about equivalent to having your screen washer bottle full or half full. OE alloy hub discs do not offer any floating benefits, as they utilise solid riveted construction and we only see these small weight savings. That’s our opinion anyway.

Therefore, why not just use the new EBC premium G3000 cast iron units, which are R90 approved and available in either plain or USR fine slotted versions for better venting, which are also even lighter.

Suitable for a large number of BMW vehicles, as well as some Toyota models (more applications becoming available soon).

Please see below for some key applications currently available (full list available from the 91´ŤĂ˝ website):

Irish drifter, Andy Howard, has begun his epic ‘Drift Across the World’ journey across the globe. Howard shipped his BMW 330i Touring over to Australia, with the aim of driving the car back to his homeland of Ireland whilst raising money for the Make-a-Wish foundation in the process.

Howard is relying on 91´ŤĂ˝ components for the stopping power on his trusty steed, as he drives, drifts and lives in the car over the huge journey ahead of him. He’s running Bluestuff pads, USR discs and braided brake lines – a strong and reliable setup that should help him navigate the hugely varying and demanding terrain that lays ahead of him.

SPONSORED RIDER/DRIVER UPDATE

Natalie Kane has been racing motocross around Europe for many years, recently taking a break due to pregnancy. She recently returned to compete in the Women’s Swedish Championship for 2025, with her first round taking place just nine weeks after giving birth. We caught up with Kane the final round of 2025, which took place at Vimmerby Motorsällskap. Despite some setbacks, she clinched 7th on the day, leaving her 6th overall in the championship standings for the year.

Dave Barrett is competing in the 2025 Modified Ford Series, piloting his upgraded Mk4 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Zetec within the Class C category. We caught up with Barrett towards the end of the season, following his round at Lincolnshire’s Cadwell Park, where he achieved more class podiums to cement his impressive standings for the year.

Motorcycle race outfit, Brook Built Racing, has been competing in the No Limits Racing (NLR) SuperTwins and Oliver’s Mount championships throughout 2025. The latest update comes after Russell Brook and Ben Long attended the final Oliver’s Mount race of the season – the Steve Henshaw Gold Cup, where they took home more strong results.

Pro drifter, Stuart Egdell, continues his partnership with 91´ŤĂ˝ as he once again carries out another season of the Drift France championship. Following more success at the previous round in Calmont, we caught up with Egdell as he undertook the final round of 2026 at the all-new Circuit de Charade in Auvergne, where some great driving saw him take a Top 20 overall for the season.

For many years, the Clubracer outfit – made up of drivers Henry Wright and Kevin Glover – piloted their Ford Fiesta in Class D of the Trackday Championship, securing multiple podium finishes and season wins along the way. Throughout this time, the duo relied on 91´ŤĂ˝ Racing’s motorsport brake pads to help them achieve such impressive results. Following an incredible outright win at Donington Park, we next caught up with the team following their Oulton Park and Cadwell Park rounds in the second half of the year, where more consistent, solid driving ensured the trophies continued to come in.

Martyn Henry is competing in the Pro class of Time Attack UK, in his heavily modified Vauxhall Astra VXR. Following a podium finish at Snetterton, Henry next found himself at the gruelling Knockhill Circuit in Scotland, where mixed weather and a few other issues made for a testing weekend, with good results achieved despite this.

Kart racer Marcus Hudson is campaigning in the Super 4 British Championship for the 2025 season. Following more solid driving at Fulbeck recently, Hudson soon found himself at the final round of 2025, set at Hunts Kart Racing Club, where he finished the season in P8.

Nicole Drought has been competing in the MSVT Trackday Championship for 2025, continuing to run 91´ŤĂ˝ components in her Civic Type R. We caught up with Drought following the penultimate round at Croft Circuit, where she currently sits 5th overall and 4th in class. As she is unable to compete in the final race at Brands Hatch (with ex-teammate Justin Roberts taking the hot seat for this race instead), the team took this opportunity to reflect on the hugely successful year they’ve had so far.

Retford-based Scott Stone is competing in No Limits Racing’s Premier 1000cc Championship in 2025 on his Yamaha R1, achieving class podiums throughout the year. With further class podiums and PBs achieved at the previous round at Oulton Park, Stone was back out for the final round at Derbyshire’s Donington Park recently. Luck wasn’t on his side for the weekend, but he managed to clinch second in the Premier 1000cc class for 2025.

Wiltshire-based motorcycle racer, Max Symonds has been competing in another season in the British Superbike Championship’s National Superstock category.  With great results achieved at the most recent Cadwell Park round of BSB, Max took a break from the series to return to his home circuit of Castle Combe for a very special one-off race weekend. Here, he was pleased to once again secure ‘King of Combe’ status after some fantastic riding across the two days.

Portugal-based Fabio Ferrinho has recently been competing in the Mogadouro Drag Race series in his modified 270+bhp SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra. More recently, he’s decided to take his versatile and capable steed on some track days, which has put even more strain on his car’s braking system. Because of this, he decided to upgrade to 91´ŤĂ˝ Racing’s RP-X™ track/race brake pads ahead of a demanding track day on the vast PortimĂŁo Circuit – an upgrade which provided great results.

The Dean Hipwell-owned Whitecliffe CDH Racing Team has been competing in the Bennetts British Superbikes Championship for the 2025 season, with both Luke Hedger and Jamie Davies piloting Honda CBR1000RR-R machines. After a successful round at Brands Hatch, we next caught up with the team at Cheshire’s Oulton Park, where treacherous weather conditions didn’t dampen the spirits of the two riders.

The NW Racing team has once again been competing in the British Motorcycle Racing Cup (Bemsee) Formula 400 series for the 2025 season, where the team continued to campaign with Luca Wilkinson, as well as introducing Zack Weston to the pack. Following an incredibly successful season, we caught up with NW Racing at the final round at Derbyshire’s Donington Park, where solid points across the board ensured that Wilkinson comfortably walked away with gold for the overall 2025 season.

Dubai-based off-road motorcycle racer, Alex McInnes, has had another busy year competing in various desert-based off-road races across the Middle East. We caught up with McInnes after five weeks competing in five different championships back-to-back, with impressive rides seen each step of the way.

Jeremy Evans and Phil Hart are the drivers of the Tunbridge Wells-based Semprini Racing outfit – a team that is currently campaigning a K24-engined EP3 Honda Civic Type R across both the MSV Trackday Trophy and BRSCC Supersport Endurance Championship race series in the UK. We caught up with the team as they enter their final rounds of 2025 – which proved to be a great success as they climbed 25 places to finish P5.

EBC-equipped True Heroes Racing is a motorcycle racing outfit supporting riders in various race series across the UK. Priding itself on being the UK’s first and only not-for-profit motorcycle race team dedicated to supporting wounded, injured and sick UK Armed Forces personnel and veterans, the team helps to engage, empower and inspire.

Arizona-based Austin Phipps of the Mulletsport race team is a professional drifter, currently using a modified 2012 Audi S4 with manual transmission and rear-wheel drive conversion in various drift series across the USA. Ahead of the mighty FuelFest 2025 event, Phipps decided to finally get to the bottom of the engine issues that had been haunting him throughout the year by replacing the entire powerplant with a boosted LS V8 motor.

For the 2025 season, Rob Lewis once again competed in the Modified Ford Series in his Mk1 Ford Focus ST170. After catching up with Lewis after the first few rounds of the year, where car and driver had both been performing well and secured some class podiums, we next caught up with Rob after the final rounds of the season at Cadwell Park and Brands Hatch, where more podiums were clinched.
