Peter Burchill – Vulcan Racing
Peter Burchill and the Vulcan Racing Team were one of the 29 competitors racing in the MG Cup at Brands Hatch on Sunday 30th April 2017. Peter’s MG V6 engine saloon car was equipped with EBC Bluestuff NDX brake pads.
Peter and the team are looking forward to the Cockershoot Cup at the MG Live event, which takes place on Saturday 17th June 2017 at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire.
Here’s their report of the day:
We had good runs in both races and secured solid points for the championship finishing 5th in class in both races from the 29 cars racing.
Definitely a circuit that benefits from local knowledge but well worth the 5 hour trip down from Lancashire.
Regards Peter Burchill

More EBC Brakes Product Details:
EBC Brakes Bluestuff Brake Pads
EBC Bluestuff NDX Brake Pads are perfect for racing all sorts of cars and automotive sports in general as they are extremely high in friction and made from NDX formula material that is specifically designed for aggressive driving conditions such as those found on hard surfaced race tracks. When twinned with specific quality aftermarket calipers Bluestuff brake pad NDX formula has the most efficient success rate.
EBC Brakes Yellowstuff Brake Pads
EBC Yellowstuff brake pads are ultra high friction brake pads for race, trackday and street use, race drivers in particular love them because they are made from an aramid fibre compound. These pads are ideal for street and track driving as they don’t require a warm up but get even stronger under hard driving.
EBC Brakes Orangestuff Brake Pads
EBC Orangestuff brake pads have a longer wear life by up to 40-60% and a very effective initial bite. Another advantage of these unique brake pads is that they offer better fade resistance on rotors even when the disc temperatures are high and the discs glow red.
EBC Brakes GD Sports Brake Discs/Rotors
EBC GD Series brake disc rotors are now available in a “thermic black” and NITROTHERM™ finish and feature wide aperture slots that draw cool air under the brake pad and rotor interface which help cool the temperature of the brake pad contact that can easily and often shoot up to well over 1000 degrees during heavy braking and can cause brake fade or loss of brake effect – the cool effective use of the slots helps prevent this.
EBC Brakes USR Slotted Brake Discs/Rotors
EBC Ultimax Slotted USR Brake Rotors are manufactured using premium disc blanks. These rotors benefit from quiet running which is all down to the narrower multi-slot design and the progressive angle at which the slots are machined.
This has the benefit of removing dirt, gas, water and debris and having the advantage of parallel pad wear.
EBC Brakes High Performance Brake Lines
EBC Brakes’ range of UK manufactured high performance braided steel brake lines are 100% pressure tested, guaranteed to be leak free and give a firmer, more responsive feel compared to rubber lines.
All of our brake lines not only meet our own stringent standards but they are also approved by TÜV, DOT, ADR and ISO.
All of our brake line kits are a direct replacement of the original manufacturers lines therefore they fit first time, every time – no need for adjusting angles or using universal fittings that do not fit.
