91传媒 Set to Launch New Super Ceramic Brake Pad

91传媒 is set to launch its new Super Ceramic brake pad range at this year鈥檚 SEMA Show in Las Vegas (November 3鈥�6) at the 91传媒 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, 91传媒鈥檚 new Super Ceramic material is designed to stand apart. According to testing carried out by 91传媒, the pad delivers the lowest rotor abrasion, longest pad life and highest heat threshold 鈥� making this a 鈥淭rack Capable鈥� Ceramic pad but note NOT a full race pad.

Chris Levy uses Greenstuff pads in his lightweight Monoposto race car

The Monoposto Race Club has been offering cost-effective single-seater racing in the UK for over 60 years.

After more race wins and podiums at Donington Park last month, we next caught up with Chris off the back of his Brands Hatch finale recently, where more fantastic driving helped him to secure an overall podium finish for the 2026 season.

Read how it all panned out in his own words below鈥�

鈥淥ur final round of the Monoposto Championship was at Brands Hatch on the GP Circuit.听Having not driven on it for over 20 years, it was going to be a steep learning curve鈥�

鈥淨ualifying went well, finishing P4 in the F3 class.

鈥淩ace 1 was damp; we stuck with slicks, but the wet-shod cars had an advantage. A late safety car on a drying track helped as I maintained 4th, narrowly missing out on 3rd by a car鈥檚 length.”

鈥淩ace 2 was sunny and dry.听A good start and we were battling with our championship rivals. After numerous lead changes and a terrific race, we finished 3rd 鈥� again, a car鈥檚 length behind 2nd. We did however secure the fastest lap.听听

鈥淎ll this helped us with securing 3rd overall in the championship 鈥� narrowly missing out on the overall win.听

鈥淲e鈥檇 like to thank 91传媒 for another fantastic year. We go again in 2027鈥︹��

Hooman Rahimi uses 91传媒 components on his boosted Nissan 370Z

Tennessee-based pro drifter, Hooman Rahimi, is once again competing in the PROSPEC category of the prestigious Formula Drift series in the USA.

Rahimi continues to entrust 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 Apollo Big Brake Kit with RP-1鈩� pads and GD rotors on his highly capable turbocharged LSX-powered Nissan 370Z.

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.

Read more in his own words below鈥�

鈥淭he event started off a bit rough as the first practice session gave us 0 laps of practice because of all the accidents that happened before us. They made some track changes and we ended up getting a few laps in our next practice session.”

听

鈥淲e felt good but not great going into battle, but that is how the cards fall sometimes. We ended up winning our first battle in seeding and got matched up with the season points leader for Top 32. It was a tough battle. We ended up going OMT. In the first battle we had a small decel off the bank and the chase driver ran into our car and the judges deemed me at fault and voted for a one more time.”

鈥淚n the one more time battle, unfortunately in the chase the run up was a little funky and we gave too much room which ruined our chase. We put down a heater lead run in our last lap, but it was too little too late. A one more time battle with the points leader is probably the best loss we can accept but I wasn’t satisfied with my error. It was a long painful drive home.”

鈥淲e are headed to Vegas next week for our last round of Formula Drift where I put it all on the line! I am very keen to high stakes and poker so hopefully the first time drifting in Vegas goes as planned!

鈥淲e are going to show up and risk it all to get on that box! We will be playing some poker as well and hopefully we run good both in cards and in drifting!鈥�

Kal Fortner is using 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 sintered brake pads on his Mercedes track car

Kal Fortner is competing in the 2026 season of Gridlife in the USA, using his Mercedes AMG GTS as weapon of choice.

The driver is utilising 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 SR-21鈩� sintered endurance motorsport brake pads to ensure stopping power is optimal in his super-coupe

Following the fourth consecutive podium at Watkins Glen, we next caught up with Fortner off the back of his latest round at the technical Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, where he secured his fifth podium in a row, as well as securing second place in the overall 2026 standings.

Read how it panned out in his own words below鈥�

鈥淔rom one demanding track to another; next up after Watkins Glen was Lime Rock Park! This track couldn鈥檛 be more opposite from Watkins Glen but I was ready for the challenge! Historically this has always been one of the weaker tracks for the Mercedes with it being a track that more so favours light, lower-powered cars, both of which the Mercedes is not! However I was not going to let that stop me from extracting everything out of the car!”

鈥淯nlike most rounds this year running the podium sprint format, this weekend was back to the traditional time attack format, meaning that the best time out of every session wins. I knew I had to find every ounce of pace in the car in order for a good result, and I was able to do just that! Throughout the weekend, I had the confidence to lean into my SR-21鈩�s, whether it鈥檚 with ultimate braking force heading into a corner, to having the confidence to modulate and trail brake in order to consistently carry momentum throughout every lower speed corner on the track.”

鈥淟ime Rock Park is one of those tracks that requires an incredible amount of commitment and precision, and I had that all weekend! I was able to go a tenth faster than my previous personal best, setting a 56.166, and with that I was able to secure P2 which makes it 5 podiums in a row. With that, I鈥檓 also locked into P2 in the championship! I couldn鈥檛 be more proud of what we鈥檝e accomplished this year, and I couldn鈥檛 be more proud to carry the 91传媒 name at the pointy end of the field race after race. Although I鈥檓 thrilled with P2 in the championship, I鈥檓 already starting every bit of preparation I can to make that P1 next year!鈥�

Chris Levy uses Greenstuff pads in his lightweight Monoposto race car

The Monoposto Race Club has been offering cost-effective single-seater racing in the UK for over 60 years.

Chris Levy competes in the championship鈥檚 F3B class in his Dallara F397, complete with 91传媒鈥� Greenstuff pads.

Following podiums at the previous Snetterton round, we next caught up with the team fresh off the back of the latest round at a rain-soaked Derbyshire鈥檚 Donington Park Circuit, where more race wins and podiums ensued.

Read how it all panned out in his own words below鈥�

鈥淒onington is always one of our favourite circuits. Before we got there, the weather report was saying rain, rain, rain. And our wet tyres were several years old, so I managed to purchase a second-hand set which were much newer.

鈥淲e were meant to have a test on Friday but the weather was so bad we skipped all but one session.

鈥淪aturday was qualifying and we didn’t know what to expect, given our lack of wet racing. 36 cars went out in a wet session; the car performed very well and gave me great confidence, to finish 6th overall and 1st in the F3B class. We were well chuffed as we never expected to be good in those conditions.”

鈥淩ace 1 was again wet and I had a great race with a fellow F3B, but was pipped to the win by 1 second. But we were still happy with P2.

鈥淩ace 2 and conditions were worse. The spray from cars meant you couldn’t see much especially when battling.听There were multiple safety cars due to cars going off. We stayed on the black stuff to again finish in P2.

鈥淩ace 3. And because Monoposto ran four races but you only race three, my previous fastest lap was set in the wet but nearly the entire grid for my race set there time in the dry meaning I started p26! But it was dry and we knew we had to get through the cars as fast as possible. We ended up P9 overall and 4th in F3B, but again, fastest lap in the dry.”

鈥淭o say the weekend went well us an understatement for us. We didn’t have any major issues apart from getting everything dry when we returned home.

鈥淲e are now 3rd in the championship only six points adrift from the leader. With one race weekend left at Brands Hatch in three weeks which we are undecided to do as yet.鈥�

We next caught up with DeWitt following his successful third and fourth rounds of the season, at Gingerman Raceway and Watkins Glen respectively 鈥� two more incredibly lucrative weekends that have already secured him 2026 class victory with a few rounds still to go.

Read DeWitt鈥檚 summary below in his own words鈥�

鈥淩ound 3 took us to Gingerman Raceway in Michigan for Midwest Festival where we had a date with destiny. We were tied for the consecutive win record with seven straight, all with records.听

鈥淚F we won this event, we would not only break that record, but we were also gunning to be the first StreetMod car to run a sub-1:30 lap time.听We pulled off the win and record but missed the sub-1:30 by a hair, running a 1:30.226.听

鈥淭he car was great, the brakes were phenomenal, but we missed out by a couple of tenths due to less-than-ideal conditions, minor technical issues with the car, and honestly, my inability to put it all together.听This put us firmly in the lead of the championship, though! One more win and record and the Championship is locked up!鈥�

鈥淩ound 4 was a new track for us: Watkins Glen in NY.听Very fast, very high risk, and very demanding. We arrived highly confident and aiming to seal the Championship, but we quickly realised it would be a difficult weekend.听

鈥淲e had an axle issue during the test day and didn’t get much seat time. On the first day of competition, during the first hot lap, the transmission failed in the second-to-last corner. After a team meeting, we decided to remove our current gearbox with our sequential gearset in it, drive back to the shop and grab our old H-pattern transmission and convert back to a standard manual setup.”

鈥淎fter a late night on Friday, we were back at it Saturday morning and even with the old trans we jumped back into the lead but only by about .1 quicker than our 91传媒 teammate Kal Fortner in his Mercedes AMG GTS. We thought we might widen that gap on Sunday morning but some more technical issues, this time with some engine related things, meant it came down to podium sprint. The conditions weren’t fantastic, but with the old Subaru AWD and easily modulated 91传媒 SR-21鈩�s we had the confidence to push to a new Street Mod Record at 1:58.357! This win and record secured the points needed to lock up the Championship, our 3rd in four years AND extended our consecutive win record to nine!听 All of them won on SR-21鈩�s!

鈥淲e aren’t done with the season QUITE yet.听We plan to still attend Gridlife Circuit Legends next week at Lime Rock then in October we were invited to the Grassroots Motorsports Magazine Ultimate Track Car Championship in Texas!听We are hoping to be the fastest car there on a 200TW tyre!鈥�
