91´«Ã½ Attends Gravity Show 2024

The 91´«Ã½ UK team recently spent two days at Birmingham’s NEC exhibition centre for the 2024 instalment of the highly anticipated Gravity Show.

This modified car event has been growing year-on-year for the past decade, now taking the form of a huge indoor show that attracts thousands of automotive enthusiasts during its two days of running.

2024 marked the first year that EBC hosted a trade stand at Gravity Show, and it certainly started things off with a bang, taking the form of a five-car display with an eclectic mix of EBC-equipped vehicles present.

There were also an impressive number of EBC-clad machines around the rest of the vast show, reflecting the firm’s prominence within the aftermarket car industry – especially with its 91´«Ã½ Racing line of upgraded components.

SPONSORED DRIVER/RIDER UPDATES

– Semprini Racing have continued to dominate across the UK in their EP3 Honda Civic Type R race car. Results have been consistent, with two podiums in three Trackday Trophy races and class podiums in the three Supersport races completed. Going into the second half of the season with races coming up at Snetterton again, Brands Hatch twice and Cadwell Park, the team are hoping to keep their run of podium positions going.

– BSB Superteen racer, Greg Marshall, continued his successful 2024 campaign with back-to-back weekends at Snetterton and Donington Park circuits, where his confidence was clearly building as some impressive results were achieved.

– G&S Racing Kawasaki is assisting three riders entering BSB’s British Supersport Championship throughout 2024. The latest round of the season took the outfit to Kent’s Brands Hatch, where the team were faced with multiple issues across the weekend to give them a challenging few days in paddock and on track.

– Phoenix Race Support-backed bike racer, Paul Charman, is currently competing in the fiercely-fought No Limits Racing series, and the latest round took the team up to Croft Circuit for a Pirelli Super Series 1000 race, where Charman continued showing his talent across the weekend, even with some bad luck thrown into the mix here and there.

– Motorcycle racer Russell Brook, from Brook Built Racing, is currently competing in the 2024 No Limits Racing (NLR) race series on an Aprilia RS660 and Yamaha R6. The rider took a break from the NLR recently, to enter the iconic ‘Cock of the North’ road race at Olivers’ Mount – dubbed England’s only real road racing course. Brook battled it out all weekend in packed grids, and obtained some decent results throughout.

– Young kart racer, Marcus Hudson has once again been competing in the Super 4 British Championship. It was back to Fulbeck for the latest rounds, where he achieved some of his fasted laps and finished in a strong 8th position.

– EBC-equipped SBR Motorsport team is made up of six drivers and four Ford Fiestas competing in the 2024 BRSCC Fiesta ST150 Challenge. It’s been a successful season so far with a win, eight podiums and 24 top-10 finishes.

JamSport Racing tested the new friction materials at Donington Park in its Subaru race car

After a successful test day at Donington Park circuit this week, the all new 91´«Ã½ Racing SR-11â„¢ and SR-21â„¢ friction materials have been given the seal of approval by Northampton-based race team on its Subaru WRX STI TCR race car.

27-year-old six-time multi-discipline champion driver, , drove the car during testing ahead of a full season behind the wheel of the Subaru throughout 2022. His thoughts can be read below in his own words.

“Following the recent announcement by JamSport Racing that it will be running the new Subaru WRX STI TCR car in the 2022 TCR UK championship, we were keen to get into the testing and development phase ahead of the competitive season.

“When we started the testing and developing of the car, one of the key areas that showed some room for improvement was the braking system. We were keen to try out EBC’s new sintered race compounds, having already tested these on a few other vehicles.

“We started off the test day in the morning using another very well-respected pad compound used a lot in the touring car scene to get some baseline data and to get a feel for how the car performed on these pads at the same track, before we got into testing two new compounds.

“We then opted to fit the SR-11™ compound pads and straight away we had a better pedal feel and more bite that allowed us to modulate the pedal nicely. This compound also offered improved weight transfer of the vehicle, which is a very important aspect on a vehicle like the Subaru.

“There was no pad wedging or uneven wear, and the disc wear was very low. It is also worth mentioning that we had no issues with heat or braking system temperatures. With this car being a fully-built race car with a pedal box and no servo, we thought we would go on to try the SR-21â„¢ compound next.”

“In the afternoon, we cleaned the discs up and fitted the SR-21™ compound pads. We then went out for a few laps to bed in the brakes and make sure that the pads mated up to the discs correctly. After letting the Subaru cool as well as the braking system, we then went out and did a race-length session.

“Straight away, you could feel how much more initial bite and sharpness the SR-21™ offered and as well as having bite that stayed stable throughout the whole session. This setup with the SR-21™  gave us great modulation characteristics and a great pedal feel with virtually no bed-in time required, which is an ideal trait. These pads really suited the setup with the pedal box, and also mean that we aren’t going to have to change the master cylinder sizes as we previously thought we would, which is fantastic.

“The SR-21™ pads were predictable from the get-go with no fade, thus allowing us to brake later (and in fact brake later than you would in a Touring Car at Donington), this gave us a lot of faith in the pads and again as with the SR-11™ compound, really helped with the front-end grip and weight transfer of the car which is so important.

“As with the SR-11™ pads, there was no uneven wear or pad wedging and the temperatures remained stable throughout the test as well as no undue disc wear. So far, this setup is the best the car has felt to date.

“We are really looking forward to the 2022 season as we have a lot planned and we look forward to continuing to work with 91´«Ã½ Racing as well as running the new SR-21â„¢ compound in our 2022 TCR campaign.â€
