BREMBO IS ONCE AGAIN THE CHOICE OF CHAMPIONS!
Another Record-Breaking Season for Brembo Brakes

ORLANDO, Fl., Dec. 14, 2006 – A number of legendary companies will celebrate major motorsports anniversaries in 2007, but few, if any, will have achieved as much success as Brembo has in its relatively short history.

Brembo and its racing subsidiaries are a fascinating success story just 30 years in the making. Although founded in 1961, Brembo began racing in 1975 when Enzo Ferrari entrusted the Bergamo-based, high-performance brake manufacturer with the task of fitting its most prestigious Formula 1 car. Since then, Brembo has been at the forefront of the motorsports arena, winning over 150 world championships, a record that is unprecedented in the industry.

When one thinks of Brembo, sports car racing comes to mind immediately and rightfully so. Historically, Brembo has dominated with the likes of Aston Martin, Audi, Ferrari, Maserati and Porsche, among others. Names like McNish and Beretta with Audi and Corvette were Brembo champions in the American Le Mans Series, while Lamy and Lieb drove their Aston Martin DBR9 and Porsche 996 respectively to class champions in the Le Mans Endurance Series. Bartels and Bertolini were crowned FIA GT1 Champions with their Brembo-equipped Maserati MC12, while Melo topped GT2 in his Ferrari F430.

And in the classic 24 Hours of Le Mans, Brembo walked away with all of the hardware in the two prototype classes as the Audi R10 of Team Joest (P1) and the MG/Lola of Mallock Racing (P2) stood atop the French podium.
