EBC Brakes Racing Launches ‘CC Series’ Carbon Ceramic Rotor Conversions
Cars fitted with carbon ceramic rotors as standard require very expensive replacement parts, which many people do not wish to entertain.
The clear braking preference of design by the world is a quality rotor that features grey cast iron rotor rings and a lightweight hub, and this is what the EBC units deliver, but with a difference:
1) 100% British-made in the EBC UK Headquarters, using European cast and machined rotor rings.
2) Lightweight billet alloy centre hubs attached to the rotor ring, with EBC trademark SD (Square-Drive) system bobbins.
3) All stainless-steel hardware.
4) A true fully floating design.

The first two rounds of 2025 took Henry and his aero-clad car to Lincolnshire’s Cadwell Park Circuit and Derbyshire’s Donington Park respectively, where Henry suffered from some early-season gremlins and adverse weather to make things challenging.
Alex Boam is currently racing in Class B+ of the Modified Fords Series in his Fiesta ST150 1.6 EcoBoost. At the recent Oulton Park round, he switched his braking setup to incorporate EBC Brakes Racing SR-11™ sintered endurance race pads (front) and EBC Brakes Bluestuff pads (rear).
