Gary Lowe uses RP-X™ and Bluestuff pads in his BMW 335i race car
Racing driver, Gary Lowe, has entered his first competitive race in his freshly-built E92 BMW 335i in the 750MC Armed Forces Challenge round at Silverstone recently.
The race follows a very promising shakedown session earlier in the year at Donington Park.
Lowe has opted for EBC Brakes Racing’s RP-X™ motorsport brake pads for the front axle, as well as EBC Brakes’ Bluestuff NDX pads (rear) and GD discs (all-round).
You can read how it all panned out below in Gary’s own words below…
“This weekend, we attended Rounds 1 and 2 of the Armed Forces Race Challenge at Silverstone National Circuit.
“Making the results even more special, this marked the very first race weekend for the car and myself, making it a huge milestone after 18 months of work preparing the car myself to get it race ready.”
“The weekend proved challenging from the outset, with intermittent boost issues that unfortunately remained unresolved throughout both races. Despite the setbacks, we kept pushing and were able to bring the car home in both races, securing a strong P3 in class during Race 1 and improving to P2 in class in Race 2.
“A huge positive from the weekend was the performance of the EBC Brakes package. The RP-X™ pads paired with the Bluestuff pads and discs performed flawlessly throughout the weekend, delivering consistent stopping power with zero brake fade and remaining sharp and reliable across both races.”
“Massive thanks to the Army Sports Car Racing Team, EBC Brakes, and KARLYONE CARE LTD for all of their continued support throughout the weekend. Your backing makes it possible for us to keep pushing forward, even during difficult race weekends.
“We’ll regroup, resolve the boost issues, and come back stronger for the next round at Snetterton 300 on the 20th of June.”
