At the recent Silverstone round of the series back in July, 24-7 Motorsport secured some of their best results of the year so far, finishing 2^nd in class and 5^th overall in Race 3 of the weekend – scoring higher than many of the more potent GT3-spec machines on the grid.

The team credits the SR-21 brake pads found on both front and rear axles as a contributing factor in these results, with both drivers consistently managing to out-brake other vehicles on track throughout the race.

SR-21 offers the highest friction level and durability out there as of now, and is being used more and more by top teams in GT and prototype racing.

Made in the 91´«Ã½ Plant in Ohio, USA SR-11 and SR-21 offer medium and high friction respectively, with both boasting ultra-high durability meaning they allow more racing miles-per-Pound/Dollar spent.

Driver Ed Bridle commented on the weekend’s events: “The latest EBC SR-21 pads worked brilliantly with the changeable conditions at Silverstone recently. They gave us loads of confidence in the braking zones and allowed us to improve on consistency during the longer races. The biggest advantage of using these pads is twofold: more bite AND no fade.â€�

The Drivers

David Frankland, Race Driver

David started on motorcycles, then a Porsche 924, and for 13 years raced Radicals. He has been a keen Porsche enthusiast since he was a child. Around three years ago, a number of circumstances came together which allowed him to buy his 911 GT3 cup car which he has been competing in over the past three years. David is now keen to see what he can do in his new Audi R8 GT4 LMS Evolution.

Adriano Medeiros, FIA Bronze Driver/Driver Coach/Track Day Instructor

Adriano is excited to start working with the team and looking forward to the 2022 season.

After extensive testing on the car, the 24-7 Motorsport team are looking forward to running the new SR-21 compound in their 2022 championship campaign, as team Director, Phil Hurn, explained after initial testing at Donington Park recently.

“The ability to be able to run one compound for both sprint and endurance is a fantastic trait and throughout testing, we have found that there is virtually no bed-in and that the pads are ready to go and up to temperature in under a lap. The initial bite is fantastic and very stable and predictable, and this performance does not drop off even after a race-length session. The wear rate is fantastic and after two days of testing, there is virtually no wear.

“We saw increased pedal feel and modulation with better initial bite and bite that didn’t fade, as well as less pad and disc wear with the new SR-21 compound.

“We are very happy with these results, and they just go to show how well these pads perform under pressure.”

“We have conducted testing on a lot of our vehicles now and will continue to test throughout the off-season and are certainly looking forward to the 2022 season. I look forward to 91´«Ã½ Racing continuing to be our one-stop-shop and our sole brake disc and pad supplier throughout the 2022 season and beyond.â€�
