Hayden Renton uses Bluestuff pads and GD discs on his E36 BMW Compact
Hayden Renton has been competing in the Drift League GB championship throughout 2024, in his EBC-Equipped BMW E36 Compact.
The car proudly sports Bluestuff NDX pads (front), Bluestuff B pads (rear) and GD Sport discs (all-round).
Below, Renton gives us a summary of his season, following his finish on the top of the podium at the final round at Teesside Autodrome recently…
“What a weekend and what a way to show off to the home crowd! Qualifying 3rd on Saturday with a 90.7, then winning the event on Sunday, this is definitely an event that will last long in the memory.
“But not without any issues that is…
“Our Top 32 saw us take a by-run due to qualifying high enough to achieve one, then the Top 16 saw us face off against Callum Allonby. Perfect driving as always from Callum putting a near perfect run in and inviting me to get nice up close and personal too his door!
“Our Top 8 battle saw us face off against Nerijus Cickevicius in his monster of an E46! Once again putting down a lovely line for me to be able to put it to his door.”
“Then, Top 4 is when disaster struck, with the car shutting off in the holding area just before our battle against Ian Leggett. The car was just unresponsive to the start switch and power, but with a bit of perseverance and love, I managed to calm down and think through the issue. I tried bump starting, which didn’t work. Tried the ignition again, didn’t work. At this moment it seemed I had been stopped in my tracks by car issues but after a quick minute to let the car have its moment it fired back up and ran like nothing ever happened.
“We gave it our all in our battle against Ian, knowing he’s a fast driver sticking it to his door and even giving him a love tap. Once again, that saw me through to the final where I faced Kuba Kozlowski.”
“Wow. What a battle it was; Kuba giving me nudges on the first run made me know I had no other choice other than to risk it all.
“But risking it all is what I did and it paid off!
“Let me tell you: the EBC Brakes did some serious work with the amount of left-foot braking going on.
“Huge thankyou to all of my sponsors, friends and family for helping and allowing me to do these events!”
