SPONSORED RIDER/DRIVER UPDATE

The G&S Racing Kawasaki motorcycle race team is once again competing in the BSB’s British Supersport Championship. With more points clinched by the team at Thruxton, the next leg of the roadshow took the riders to Derbyshire’s Donington Park, where the team faced a rollercoaster of highs and lows across the weekend.

Kart racer Marcus Hudson is campaigning in the Super 4 British Championship for the 2025 season. Following a very positive first half of the year, the roadshow took Hudson and the team back to Lincolnshire’s Fulbeck Kart Club recently, where more solid driving kept him in good overall championship stead.

Scott Stone is competing in No Limits Racing’s Premier 1000cc Championship in 2025 on his Yamaha R1. With class podiums achieved throughout the year, most recently at Lincolnshire’s Cadwell Park, the team was back out at Cheshire’s Oulton Park next for Round 7, where more class podiums and PBs were achieved despite the treacherous conditions.

Paul Charman is competing in the 2025 No Limits Racing’s Super Series 1000 championship with the Phoenix Race Support team. We caught up with Charman fresh off the back of his Oulton Park round towards the end of the season, where he secured a top-10 finish before the weekend was abandoned due to accidents in race 2.

British Caterham racer, Carl Jones, currently competes in the Caterham Seven Championship UK in his 420R-badged machine. Following a sensational 2024 season, with multiple accolades earned, we caught up with Jones towards the end of his 2025 campaign, fresh from the Oulton Park round, which proved to be another success story as he secured multiple podiums.

All-new four-piston big brake kit offers one giant leap forwards for the performance braking market

91´«Ã½ Racing’s Apollo Big Brake Kits represent the ultimate upgrade when it comes to improving stopping power.

Complete with stunning, British-engineered four-piston calipers and all the hardware you need to completely replace all equivalent components of the front axle of your vehicle’s stock braking system, these complete kits give a firmer and more responsive brake pedal feel and allow you to drive much longer without the onset of brake fade.

Apollo Big Brake Kits are also supplied with front braided brake lines and high-performance fluid, ensuring a brake upgrade that delivers maximum braking performance.

These kits are now available for the recently-launched Toyota GR86 – a highly-anticipated sports coupé that’s known for its stripped-back road/track driver thrills, making it an ideal application for such an upgrade.

For a complete list of vehicle applications, .

Apollo-Series 4-Piston Calipers

  • EBC’s lightweight-yet-strong aluminium 4-piston brake caliper
  • Two-piece bolted design that incorporates high-tensile 12.9-grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section (computer FEA analysis shows that this offers significant improvements in caliper stiffness compared to a monobloc design)
  • Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings (this offers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging)
  • Rather than a powder-coated finish, all Apollo calipers use an advanced high-temperature Teflonâ„¢ polyester coating process to ensure they look great for much longer. Currently available in Stealth Black, Storm Shadow Blue, Luminous Yellow and Racing Red

Fully-Floating Two-Piece Discs

  • Fully-floating 330x28mm two-piece discs that allow the outer ring to expand freely in response to heat (this reduces stress which in turn extends disc life and reduces the tendency for disc cracking during extreme use)
  • Drive bobbins machined from a single piece of stainless steel giving maximum strength and corrosion resistance (this reduces maintenance requirements and ensures the outer ring continues to float freely over time)
  • Disc rings feature 48 directional internal curved vanes for improved cooling
  • Unique ‘Swept Groove’ slot design for effective evacuation of braking dust and gases whilst ensuring good initial bite on brake application
  • Now featuring the latest thermic black corrosion-resistant finish – the very latest in rust prevention

Yellowstuffâ„¢ Performance Brake Pads

  • Every EBC Apollo Big Brake Kit is supplied with EBC Yellowstuffâ„¢ pads for the front axle
  • Excellent cold bite and minimal brake noise make them a great pad for road use, yet they are also capable of operating without brake fade up to 550°C, making them an equally outstanding pad for moderate track use

Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

  • Every kit is supplied with 91´«Ã½â€™ stainless-steel braided brake lines for the front axle
  • Every hose has a stainless-steel braided exterior that prevents a phenomenon known as ‘ballooning’, this braided exterior prevents the spongey feel of OE rubber lines and provides greater precision and feel under braking

Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid

  • Every kit is supplied with 1 litre of BF307+ super DOT 4 brake fluid. This fluid has a 310°C boiling point – a significantly higher boiling point than standard DOT 5.1 fluid
  • Having such a high boiling point gives the braking system exceptional endurance, allowing you to push hard for extended periods without heat soak causing the fluid to boil and resulting in fade

Availability

Available now. Please to find your local EBC stockist and see a full list of applications.
