Martyn Henry uses 91传媒 pads on his big-power Astra VXR build
Martyn Henry is competing in the Pro class of Time Attack UK, in his heavily modified Vauxhall Astra VXR.
To help him claim the quickest times, Henry entrusts 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 RP-X鈩� brake pads for the front axle and 91传媒鈥� Yellowstuff pads for the rear axle of his fierce hot hatch.
Following something of a rollercoaster first two rounds of 2025, things settled for Henry at the third round at Kent鈥檚 Brands Hatch recently, where his true potential started to shine through.
Read his report below鈥�
鈥淚 went out on the warm-up but only managed five laps before I had to come in for an increasingly bad misfire. Going over the datalogs, it was clear it was cylinder one, so I tried changing the spark plugs and coil.鈥�
Attack 1
鈥淚 headed out and the misfire was still there, not as bad but after a couple laps it was worse than ever. So, I came in after just three laps and got to work checking the logs again. At least I had a bit of time over lunch. By this point, I was convinced it must be a faulty injector, but I didn鈥檛 have and spare injectors with me at the circuit. Luckily, Colin Dorward had a spare set of the same injectors and was kind enough to let me borrow them.鈥�
Attack 2
鈥淎s soon as I left the pit lane, straight away the car was back to full health. At last, I could finally start pushing for a decent lap time. I managed to set a 51.447 鈥� three seconds off the big boys, unfortunately. This gave me 5th in class. I was still struggling with handling, but whilst tweaking before the final round I found the rear hub was loose.鈥�
Super Attack (Final)
鈥淭his was my chance to get into the 50s, so I pushed hard but it wasn鈥檛 to be 鈥� 51.035 left me 5th in class, but the fastest H-pattern car and second-fastest front-wheel drive.
鈥淗appy enough for just two fast sessions to put a decent time down, but I need to work on the handling 鈥� I can’t seem to get away from a problem with the power steering being so heavy. A nice six-week break until round 4 at Snetterton鈥︹��
