Brembo actually equipped more GT cars than prototypes at Le Mans this year. Probably the biggest class battle during the race was in GT1 where five different brands (Aston Martin, Corvette, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Saleen) were represented by 15 cars, 11 equipped with Brembos. Remarkably, thirteen of the cars finished with David Brabham, Richard Rydell and Darren Turner taking the top honors in their Brembo-shod #009 Aston Martin DBR9. The #76 Porsche of American Patrick Long won the GT2 class providing Brembo with its third championship of this historic race.
Racing teams and manufacturers such as Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz AMG and Lamborghini, who demand the best, turn to the experts in braking technology and performance: Brembo. The strong support and trusted relationships that Brembo has with more than 31 original equipment manufacturers and hundreds of championship-winning race teams in F1, WRC, NASCAR, IndyCar and sports cars, is based on the fact that Brembo is the industry benchmark. There is no other company or product line on the market that can match Brembo's level of technology and performance.
Brembo, headquartered in Italy with plants in 12 countries, is a world leader and design innovator of high-performance braking systems. It supplies brake systems to the most prestigious brands of passenger cars and motorcycles worldwide. Brembo has also proven leadership in motorsports with its products winning more than 200 world championships.
