LATEST EBC NEWS
EBC Brakes Set to Launch New Super Ceramic Brake Pad
EBC Brakes is set to launch its new Super Ceramic brake pad range at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas (November 3–6) at the EBC Booth #23353.
Unlike market alternatives that use partial ceramic blends, the new range features a true, pure ceramic formulation. While pure ceramic powders significantly increase raw material costs, they deliver a massive leap forward in overall braking performance and low-dust operation, setting a new benchmark for the product line.
With at least eight other Ceramic brands, EBC’s new Super Ceramic material is designed to stand apart. According to testing carried out by EBC, the pad delivers the lowest rotor abrasion, longest pad life and highest heat threshold – making this a “Track Capable” Ceramic pad but note NOT a full race pad.
Members of EBC Brakes UK made the unforgettable trip in an EBC-equipped Peugeot Bipper
This summer, some members of the EBC Brakes team took on the ‘Dash to Dubrovnik’ charity challenge. It’s a student-led road trip, driving across Europe in a £500 car through seven countries to Dubrovnik, lasting nine days.
As a team, they raised £2,387.19, with the total raised between all teams standing at £27,785.57 for Amnesty International.
For the challenge, they chose a 2010 Peugeot Bipper Teepee, equipped with EBC Brakes’ USR discs and Greenstuff pads.
Overall, they totalled 19 countries in three weeks, and 5000 miles, making this a road trip they’ll never forget.
EBC Brakes Selected as LeMans Corporation Supplier of the Year Finalist

Following a promising weekend at Snetterton, we next caught up with Varey and the team fresh off the back of the latest round at the biker-favourite Cadwell Park Circuit, where he finished with a win and a new lap record!
Russell Brook and the Brook-Built racing team have been busy across UK competing at various motorcycle race meetings, including the NLR 750km Endurance Race at Donington Park Circuit, the Barry Sheene Classic at Oliver’s Mount and the Isle of Man’s Classic TT. We next caught up with Brook following the team’s final outing of the 2026 season: the British Historic Racing Club (BHR)’s last round at Cadwell Park.
Luca Wilkinson and Zack Weston of the NW Racing team are competing across BSB and its supporting championships for 2026, both proudly running EBC Brakes Racing’s GPFAX sintered race brake pads and X-Series floating discs (front), with HH pads and Contour discs (rear). The latest round took the duo to the high-speed Thruxton Circuit, where more great rides secure more podiums across the weekend.
Tennessee-based pro drifter, Hooman Rahimi, is once again competing in the PROSPEC category of the prestigious Formula Drift series in the USA. Following mixed fortunes in the first two rounds of the season, we next caught up with Rahimi off the back of round 3 at the iconic Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, where it was another rollercoaster of a weekend for the driver.
Kal Fortner is competing in the 2026 season of Gridlife in the USA, using his Mercedes AMG GTS as weapon of choice.

Wiltshire-based motorcycle racer, Max Symonds has been competing in the British Superbike Championship’s National Superstock category for a number of years. Following an unfortunate fall in the Donington Park race that put him out of action for a few months with a broken ankle and leg, Symonds was back in action for back-to-back Thruxton rounds of both BSB and NG Road Racing respectively. We caught up with him following his first weekends back on the saddle.
