Craig Cotton鈥檚 modified Evo 6 now features a raft of 91传媒 Racing components

Craig Cotton is currently competing within the Club 4WD class of the fiercely fought Time Attack UK series in his heavily modified Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6.

Cotton has this year upgraded to an 91传媒 Racing 4-Piston Apollo Big Brake Kit, complete with SR-11鈩 sintered endurance race pads, to help his car stop as fast as it goes.

The latest round took the series to Kent鈥檚 Brands Hatch. You can read how Cotton fared over the weekend, as well as hear his overall thoughts on the brake upgrade, in his own words below.

鈥淏it of a wet one at Brands Hatch last Sunday, but I did get a half-decent session in the afternoon with a drying line on the track.

鈥淚 managed to get a 2nd聽in qualifying due to the heavens opening up and putting my class on a relatively level playing field.聽

鈥淯nfortunately for me, in the final session the weather cleared and a dry line appeared on the track and that snatched a podium finish for me 鈥 1.6 seconds away from an Evo with 800bhp that had turned up!

鈥淭he Apollo-series 4-piston caliper has been a significant upgrade over the standard Evo Brembo caliper. This also has the benefit of being lighter than the OEM equivalent, saving 0.4kg per corner of unsprung weight.

鈥淧rogressing from the RP-X鈩 to SR-11鈩 and on to the SR-21鈩 race pad compound, this setup is very effective at stopping a relatively heavy (1400kg) car quickly. Coupled with the 91传媒 Racing BF307+ brake fluid, I can confidently say there has been absolutely zero brake fade and really does inspire confidence coming up to Paddock Hill Bend at around 125mph, or at Snetterton approaching Brundle at 135+mph.

鈥淭he energy the brakes are coping with is incredible; so much so that the wheels have changed colour due to the heat, but the brakes have stopped the car every time without a fuss.

鈥淪ince fitting the RP-X鈩 & SR-11鈩 pads, almost every event I have been beating my personal best times, this Is due to the confidence I have in the brakes.鈥

鈥淎s the cars lined up on the grid to take to the super-fast Cadwell circuit, again the fog came down before they could be released onto the green flag lap. MSVR organisers did everything they could to get the day flowing but unfortunately, it was just in the hands of the gods, with no other decision but to abandon the meeting.

鈥淛ustin said 鈥榓fter watching back a couple of qualifying laps, I can鈥檛 actually believe we were driving in those conditions; visibility was desperate and dangerous but you鈥檙e just trying to put a very fast time in no matter what. Nicole and I were extremely gutted the race didn鈥檛 go ahead as we were very hopeful of a strong result, but the MSV made the correct decision.鈥

鈥淭he duo next head off to Spain for the penultimate round, taking with them a strong 20-point championship lead. Circuito de Navarra will see several English championships head out there for the October meeting.鈥
