BREMBO’S NEW CALIPER IS CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBER
And It’s Ideal for NASCAR’s Intermediate Tracks
ORLANDO, Fl., Dec. 14, 2006 – If you are a fan of sports car racing, it’s almost a given that if you think “braking,” the second word that comes to mind is Brembo. Founded in 1961, Brembo entered the racing arena in 1975 at the four corners of the Ferrari Formula 1 car, and since that time the company has dominated the international sports car scene, supplying the “whoa” to the “go” of manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Audi, Corvette, Ferrari, Maserati and Porsche.
For more than 30 years now, Brembo has been at the forefront of the motorsports arena, winning over 150 world championships, a record that is unprecedented in the industry. But what is even more amazing is the breadth of Brembo’s success. Who would have ever thought that names like Jimmy Johnson (Nextel Cup), Kevin Harvick (Busch Series) and Tony Stewart (IROC) would ever be considered Brembo champions? But the vast majority of the NASCAR drivers in each of these series use Brembo braking systems and components more often than not to get to victory lane.
Brembo’s braking experts are always on the lookout for improved designs that will enhance performance, quality and durability. And for 2007 they have come up with a new caliper, which is ideal for NASCAR’s intermediate tracks. Some of the significant improvements compared to the previous caliper include:
