EBC Brakes Enjoys Action-Packed Goodwood Festival of Speed 2024
The EBC Brakes UK team recently attended the 2024 instalment of the mighty Goodwood Festival of Speed show, held at Goodwood House near Chichester.
This colossal event is jam-packed with the finest road and race machinery on the planet, with hundreds of thousands of automotive enthusiasts descending on the scenic venue across the weekend.
As well as meeting and advising countless customers at their dedicated booth, the EBC Brakes team were also pleased to see a number of impressive vehicles around the vast site sporting EBC Brakes components.
EBC Brakes will be in attendance at many more events throughout the remainder of the year. The next show will be Petrolheadonism Live at Knebworth House on 14-15 September.
EBC Brakes Visits The Shmuseum
The EBC Brakes workshop team recently headed to the breathtaking ‘Shmuseum’ – the home of YouTuber Tim Burton, aka Shmee150’s impeccable supercar collection on the outskirts of London.
Here, an EBC Brakes Racing six-piston Apollo Big Brake Kit was installed to Tim’s trusty BMW 1M project car – a process which was heavily publicised in a video recently released to his YouTube channel.
The aim of this BMW 1M is to build it up as a ‘clubsport’ occasional track/enjoyable road car, with choice modifications that will help retain the refinement of the factory machine, whilst offering up more capability if Tim decides to go for a spirited drive. The EBC brake kit is the perfect choice for this brief; with Bluestuff NDX pads to help offer unrivalled braking performance on both road and track.
