There was a 1M at the ring last year with huge brakes on it, defo not standard, but don't know what they were, and don't know if they were off the shelf or something a race team had put together.....sorry....maybe send an email to Alcon, AP, Brembo, etc....see what they say??

Were they yellow calipers? English plated, and white?

It was White, but on German plates Lawsy......Think they were a race team from Hamburg........Calipers looked similar to my AP set up, but didn't get chance to have a proper look.

Gareth hasn't bothered fitting big brakes to his, as the 1M uses the same brakes (both discs and callipers) from the E9x M3 (on a car that weighs significantly less). He even uses the OE brake pads and has never had any issues on UK tracks.

The only thing he does is fit is a 378mm disc and bell and bracket to space the calliper out for when he goes to the 'ring.

Sam - If only Endless pads would do a whole 24H race, not even close

I did say 'designed' Nathan

All that dosh and they don't even get close

I'm pretty sure someone at the ring said they got through a N24 out of 1 set though? .... maybe it was BS?

Don't know anyone on here that uses Carbotech pads.
Used for years with great effect

I'd willingly try some cheap ones as a comparison
