Semprini Racing is using EBC Brakes Racing’s SR-11™ pads in a number of race series around the UK
Jeremy Evans and Phil Hart are the drivers of the Tunbridge Wells-based Semprini Racing outfit – a team that is currently campaigning a K24-engined EP3 Honda Civic Type R across both the MSV Trackday Trophy and BRSCC Supersport Endurance Championship race series in the UK (also performing occasional rounds in the MSVT Trackday Championship and the BRSCC Clubsport Trophy).
The duo relies on EBC Brakes Racing’s SR-11™ pads (front axle) and EBC Brakes’ Bluestuff B pads (rear axle).
We catch up with the team as they enter their final rounds of 2025 – which proved to be a great success.
Read how it all panned out in their own words below…
“We managed to get the Civic back together after the crash and made the last two races of the year!
“After a mid-season crash at a wet Donington Park, the Semprini Racing Civic underwent an unscheduled rebuild!
“Joining up with the Club Racing UK team for the famous Birkett Relay, the EBC SR-11™/Bluestuff-equipped Civic made its return to action on the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit.
“Pressed into action for two stints rather than the planned one due to an issue with another car in the team, Jeremy quickly got himself and the car back up to speed and posted a best lap time two seconds quicker than when they had raced at the circuit earlier in the season.”
“The final race of the season was in the Trackday Trophy at Brands Hatch and was a unique experience as qualifying had to take place behind the safety car because of fog. This meant grid positions were drawn out of a cup with Jeremy drawing P30 out of the 34 cars!
“Come race time and the fog had lifted but the rain had started. A very busy start at the Brands Hatch Indy circuit from P30 saw Jeremy stay out of trouble and then set about some overtaking… and some more overtaking!
“In tricky wet conditions, Jeremy relied on the excellent feel from the EBC Brakes setup and made up an incredible 25 places to finish 5th overall and 4th in class at the flag. In fact, Jeremy made up more places than any other driver!
“On to 2026 now and plans are already taking shape for another season with the Civic.”
