Mark White competes in the Armed Forces Race Challenge
Mark White is the Operations Manager of the聽聽charity 鈥� set up to help those affected by military operations by engagement through sport.
With a 20+ year career in the army himself, White now competes in the聽聽championship in his EP3 Honda Civic Type R race car.
Following the installation of an 91传媒 Racing Apollo Big Brake Kit to his car in the summer, ahead of the series鈥� Donington Park round (which proved to be a huge success), we caught up with Mark following the most recent Oulton Park leg of the championship.
Read on below as White explains how the weekend helped him secure double poles, double wins, and even a championship lap record鈥�
鈥淲hat a weekend at Oulton Park; everything came together perfectly, and I couldn鈥檛 have asked for a better set of results.鈥�
Qualifying
鈥淩ight from the first lap of qualifying, I knew the car had pace. The Type R felt properly sharp, and the brakes were on the money, instantly giving me complete confidence into the braking zones. Oulton Park demands precision at places like Old Hall and Hislop鈥檚, and I was able to push the limits on every lap. That confidence translated into two pole positions 鈥� laying the groundwork for the weekend. My quali lap had blasted last year鈥檚 lap record by over one second. I set that record last year and the only change has been the brakes.鈥�
Race 1
鈥淔rom lights-out, I focused on managing the gap. The Civic was balanced, and my brakes gave me the edge I needed. Every time I came into Lodge or Island Bend, I could brake later than the fast stuff behind and extend the lead. The consistency of the EBC setup meant I never once worried about fade, even under pressure. Crossing the line first with the fastest lap was the perfect start.鈥�
Race 2
鈥淩ace 2 was all about pushing hard from lights-out. On pole again, I launched cleanly and immediately set my sights on pushing hard and trying to get away from anyone behind. I started to lean harder on the brakes, especially into Hislop鈥檚, using them as my biggest weapon. Lap after lap, the performance stayed rock solid, and that let me attack corners deeper than ever.鈥�
The Difference 鈥� 91传媒
鈥淲ithout doubt, the EBC brakes were the star of the weekend. They allowed me to brake later, harder, and more consistently than seemingly anyone else on the grid. The bite was immediate, the modulation perfect, and the confidence they gave me turned braking zones into opportunities. In both races, they were the key factor that turned pace into dominance.
鈥淭o walk away from Oulton Park with double pole, double wins and a new championship lap record feels incredible, a repeat of Donington if you remember. This was one of those weekends where everything just clicks, and I owe so much of it to the reliability and performance of your brakes make.鈥�
