Daniel Livingstone secured gold following thrilling drives at Croft and Donington Park

Caterham racer, Daniel Livingstone, is currently racing in the Sigmax class of the Caterham Graduates race series.

This class hosts Caterhams up to 140bhp, with various modifications allowed, meaning Livingstone has opted for 91´«Ã½ Racing’s RP-Xâ„¢ track/race brake pad (front axle), and 91´«Ã½â€™ Bluestuff road/track brake pad (rear axle).

Following an incredibly successful year, including three podium finishes at Croft Circuit earlier in the summer, Livingstone most recently took to Derbyshire’s Donington Park Circuit where more strong results ensured he secured gold in the series before the final race had even taken place.

You can read how he clinched the championship at Donington in his own words below.

“Dreams can come true!

“The penultimate round of the championship arrived at Donington Park. Going into the weekend I knew I had to outscore second-place driver Arnell to secure the title. I put myself under too much pressure on Saturday – the race started, I made a silly mistake and ended up in the gravel on the first corner – somehow managing to drive out and continue. Running RP-X™ pads means I can brake extremely late and this enabled me to make up the places fighting my way back to 3rd place!

“Sunday arrived and I probably had my best race all year since Brands Hatch. Great overtakes, great pace and I came across the line in 2nd place, with the fastest lap. This was later upgraded to 1st place following the leader being disqualified for being underweight. The above secured me the championship!”

“It’s been a brilliant year! I’ve learnt so much on and off track. Having 91´«Ã½â€™ support has been a dream and I attribute some of my championship win to being backed by them. If anyone is sat on the fence deciding whether to buy these pads – go and get yourself some now!â€

  • The roadshow finishes its season at Cheshire’s Oulton Park on 14 October.

Daniel Livingstone races in the Caterham Graduates Sigmax Championship

Caterham racer, Daniel Livingstone, is currently racing in the Sigmax class of the Caterham Graduates race series.

This class hosts Caterhams up to 140bhp, with various modifications allowed, meaning Livingstone has opted for 91´«Ã½ Racing’s RP-Xâ„¢ track/race brake pad.

The series recently headed to Belgium’s Spa-Francorchamps circuit – arguably one of the finest race circuits in the world – where Livingstone clinched some great results despite some potential setbacks.

You can read his story below in his own words.

“Round 3 of the Caterham Graduates Sigmax Championship was at the famous Spa Francorchamps in Belgium. It was my first race outside of the UK, being only my 9th ever race weekend. I am still relatively new to the UK circuits, let alone European ones.

“Using EBC pads gives me confidence on the brakes when I arrive at the first corner out of the pits on any circuit and this really gives me confidence when attacking a new circuit.

“I am running EBC’s RP-X™ pads in my Caterham and the stopping power is brilliant, braking has always been a strong point for me and using these pads has made my braking more consistent.

“Qualifying was mixed unfortunately, with a front wing coming loose, so this required an unplanned pit stop to remove. Time was quickly up and I couldn’t show the pace I had.”

“Race 1 was brilliant in comparison; I had a great start and was able to finish P2. Some nice moves late on the brakes! Race 2 started well but a clutch failure left me only able to drive in 4th gear! I didn’t give up and managed to finish P3.

“Overall, it was an amazing weekend, a real pinch myself moment to be racing at arguably the best race circuit in the world. Entering Eau Rouge at 120mph in a Caterham is out of this world! Having confidence in your braking equipment as you’ve travelled down the Kemmel straight and entered the heavy braking zone at Les Combes is a priority as it really enables you to make the right overtakes at the right time.

“As always, I would like to thank 91´«Ã½ for supporting me. Motorsport is expensive and to have the support of EBC has been a dream come true.â€
