The Kent-based Gigglepin Racing Team use Bluestuff pads on their impressive off-road machine
The Gigglepin Racing team has been at the sharp end of various international off-road racing championships in recent years, being proudly supported by EBC Brakes throughout this time.
Winning the popular Ultra 4 Championship last year, the outfit, fronted by Jim Marsden, recently headed back out to Europe for two epic races – the Blidinje Challenge and the Croatia Challenge.
As always, Gigglepin’s fearsome LS7 7-litre V8 powered ‘Bad Penny’ off-roader was proudly sporting EBC Brakes’ Bluestuff NDX pads all-round.
The team eventually emerged victorious as Blidinje Challenge 2024 Champions, also scoring highly in the successive Croatia Challenge race, too. You can read a summary of both races from the team in their own words below…
“We are absolutely thrilled to share some exhilarating news with you – our team has just returned from Europe as the official Blidinje Challenge 2024 Champions!
“Blidinje, nestled in the stunning heart of Herzegovina, was an incredible experience for us. This was our first time competing in this prestigious race, and we couldn’t be more excited about our victory.”

“Following our Blidinje success, we made our way to Croatia for the Croatia Challenge. While we didn’t clinch the top spot there, the event was truly remarkable and a testament to the fierce competition and camaraderie in the racing community.
“We want to extend a massive thank you to EBC Brakes for your unwavering support. It’s because of your encouragement and belief in us that we were able to achieve this remarkable victory.
“Next up is The King of Portugal in October – we look forward to sharing more exciting updates with you soon!”
