2014 Dubai 24 hour race.
DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
QD glad you're back on here again....
Brakes were indeed ours, I'm spending more and more time getting more involved in the Motorsport side of things now and its huge fun and even better when they work well...
For those interested the kit was our replacement VW Racing Craparo fully AP fully floating disc assembly kit which replaces the bolted unbranded rotors which come as part of the VWR kit, AP 6 pots and Project Mu pads. the rotor was the same 362mm item we use on the TTRS replacement kits, I know some of you are running these on Mk5s and Mk6s with TTRS calipers just in case you feel like doing a 24 hour race with your daily....there's a stealth Mk6 R on here running it courtesy of Mr Statller
At this level we spent ages on bell and bracket design as Kev (The "K" in KPM) insisted on huge reliability and low weight, the resulting bracket was clever on many fronts with practically zero straight edges so that we could deal with the loads of a 24 hour race without having to beef it up massively. Think the bracket came in at 450 grammes and the bells at 800.
We've got a few runners and riders with it in the VWR cup too.
Just want to acknowledge what a great job all the boys at KPM did on this race, the planning and organising that went into it was immense, having a bolt or screw missing when you're 4000 miles away just won't do. And don't expect the guys in the next garage to come to your rescue at this level. So full marks Kev and the boys, think you've just catapulted yourselves into the big league of global Motorsport and with a 2nd in class - awesome....
Also never seen so much care taken over a master cylinder and BBK install as that taken at KPM for one of my customers with an A3, you need attention to detail to finish these races and they apply it to their road customers equally
