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 91传媒-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鈥

鈥淲hat 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.

鈥淏ut not without any issues that is…

鈥淥ur 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!聽

鈥淥ur 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.”

鈥淭hen, 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鈥檛 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.

鈥淲e 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.”

鈥淲ow. 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.聽

鈥淏ut risking it all is what I did and it paid off!聽

“Let me tell you: the 91传媒 did some serious work with the amount of left-foot braking going on.聽

鈥淗uge thankyou to all of my sponsors, friends and family for helping and allowing me to do these events!鈥

The race team used the firm鈥檚 Apollo Big Brake Kit and SR-Series sintered pads in their BMW M3

To say Lally Chevrolet鈥檚 in-house racing team, Venomous Racing, builds extreme race cars wouldn鈥檛 be doing them justice. Not only are their vehicles fast, but attention to every detail is also taken to ensure podium-clinching performance along with reliability. No opportunity to improve driver confidence, comfort, and lap times is overlooked; this objective is made even harder when it needs to last hours upon hours in an endurance race.

91传媒 Racing has been working with US-based Venomous Racing for a couple of years now, helping them reach that goal by building systems that meet this demanding environment. Utilising a holistic approach on how to properly balance a brake system, 91传媒 Racing incorporated its 355mm Apollo Big Brake Kit and SR-21鈩 sintered endurance race pad up-front with a custom (and soon to be released) 330mm Apollo Big Brake Kit and SR-11鈩 sintered endurance race pad in the rear of the team鈥檚 E36 BMW M3. Pairing this system with Lally Chevrolet鈥檚 engineering prowess and phenomenal drivers made for a combination that was hard to beat.

91传媒 Racing鈥檚 recently-released 鈥楽R鈥 series of sintered endurance race pads are proudly made in Ohio, USA, offering unparalleled braking performance and durability in endurance motorsport racing conditions.

Ultimately, this formula led to multiple podiums and even a full sweep of an American Endurance Racing weekend at their home track, Nelson Ledges in Garrettsville, OH. 91传媒 would like to congratulate Lally Chevrolet and Venomous Racing on a successful season and we look forward to what comes next year.

Read their thoughts below:

鈥淲e would say that we couldn’t be happier with the performance and durability of the 91传媒’s SR-series of brake pads. We have utilized the SR-21 and SR-11 pad on multiple race cars and all the drivers say the same thing, that the brakes are phenomenal, and not change a thing! As a driver and having driven with different brake setups, I will praise 91传媒’s team on the development聽of the SR pad. From the pad鈥檚 initial bite and consistent feel throughout an eight-hour race, you never question or doubt the brakes. After running VIR for 20hrs on one set of brakes, that solidified聽our choice of brake setup for all and future racing. We could have run another eight hours if needed with all confidence in the brake package used.”

SR-11鈩 Race and Endurance Pads

The latest sintered race material from 91传媒 will launch in spring 2022 and promises to eclipse most of today鈥檚 organic, semi-metallic, and carbon-based racing brake pads.

Apollo Big Brake Kits

91传媒鈥 new Apollo Big Brake Kits represent the ultimate upgrade in braking performance, offering significant reductions in stopping distances whether used on road or on track.

SR-21鈩 Race and Endurance Pads

A variation of SR-11鈩 that offers ultra-high friction and is targeted for the front and rear of race cars with bias controls only. SR bites harder and lasts longer.

91传媒-equipped driver missed first 2021 round thanks to pre-season shakedown incident

Spencer Peacock, a well-known name in the Formula G gymkhana championship, secured some impressive results at the second 2021 round of the series.

Some damage to his 91传媒-equipped Mazda MX-5 obtained in a pre-season shakedown meant that he sadly had to miss round one, but was back with a bang as the series carried out its second leg at Santa Pod Raceway in mid-May.

Spencer uses Yellowstuff pads and GD discs on his modified Mazda, and his thoughts on how the weekend panned out can be viewed below in his team鈥檚 words.

Round two of the Formula G championship saw the return of Spencer Peacock鈥檚 gymkhana-spec Mazda MX-5.

Spencer recently had a pre-season shakedown incident which meant his car wasn鈥檛 able to be driven at the first round. With the return of the rebuilt car, Spencer had some new alignment setups under his sleeve ready to be tested for the first time at the Gymkhana event.

Spencer spent the morning testing his new setup, gaining more and more traction after every run and suspension tweak. After eight practice runs, Spencer had the car fully set up to his preferred preference and was then able to really start getting the track under his belt.

After a few hard practice runs of getting the track right, Spencer was 100% happy with how his car was working and decided to sit some practice out to save his tyres for qualifying and battles.

The event includes yard games with the 鈥楥ircle of Death鈥 being the highlighted race towards the end of the day across the Sonoran Desert-type terrain. The two classes are Swingarm and the Rigid (no suspension). Zen Pro Racing opted to race the rigid class with our newly built, 91传媒-equipped custom bobber.

Zen Pro Racing and its team support members disembarked from their headquarters with a four-hour journey across the desert. Upon arrival and settling in, they prepped accordingly for the next day鈥檚 race event.

RACE DAY 鈥 The Swingarm class went first, followed by the Rigid class. Number 15 was assigned by request in commemoration of a fallen team member who lost his life racing the Baja 500 in June of 2013.

START LINE 鈥 With the green flag dropping, Zen Pro Racing lead the pack with a huge lead between the second rider, for approximately a half lap until the fuel valve was hit by their racer鈥檚 leg ripping the fuel line clean off the carburettor thus, calling marking the end as other riders by-passed the now inoperable race bike. But that鈥檚 racing for you!
