ENDURANCE RECORD SET BY BREMBO RB 340 PADS: 24 HOURS AT LE MANS WITHOUT STOPPING

Brembo recorded an extraordinary performance and a scintillating victory at the Le Mans 24 Hour race in the GTE Am category, as the n° 50 Corvette of Larbre Competition took first place using Brembo RB 340 pads.

Once again, Brembo underscores its reputation as a top brand, and as the supplier of a product that can make the difference: the brake pads on the Corvette driven by Bornhauser, Lamy and Canal were not changed even once throughout the entire duration of the famous race, and the car maintained a gap of between 10 and 40 seconds over its nearest pursuer for almost 20 hours

This is the first time that a GTE car equipped with Brembo pads has completed and won the Le Mans event: 329 laps covering 4423 km, and not a single change of pads — a truly remarkable achievement

Team Larbre Competition were particularly appreciative of the RB 340, which delivered stable levels of performance throughout the race, especially during the colder night hours. Significantly, (former Formula 1 driver) produced his best lap of 3.58.534 during the latter stages of the race, proving that even under the least advantageous conditions, these Brembo pads were able to guarantee outstanding quality and performance.

The entire 24 hour Le Mans race — this year in its 80th edition — was characterized by the domination of Brembo equipment, both in the general classification, with the two R18 e-tron quattros and the Audi R18 Ultra; and in other categories too: victory in the GTE Pro class with the success of the 458 raced by AF Corse, and second and third place in the LMP2 category
