EBC Brakes are pleased to congratulate 4x Gymkhana GRiD Champion Luke Woodham who competed in the series final at Carnival City, South Africa on Sunday 19th November 2017. Luke finished again in 1st place after another incredible season of racing.
Luke equips his Nissan S14a drift car with the ‘Masters of stopping power’ – EBC Yellowstuff pads and GD Sports discs.
Gymkhana Champion Luke Woodham has just won the series for the fourth time in a row! The final of the event took place at Carnival City in Johannesburg, South Africa on Sunday 19th November 2017 and is one of motorsport’s most unique events.
This incredibly talented 29 year old driver has progressed from working as a motorcycle mechanic to a professional drift racer in just a few years. Luke has risen from relative obscurity to scoring multiple titles in the Gymkhana GRiD European Gauntlet Series, as well as podiums in the British Drift Championship.
The Gymkhana GRiD is notoriously known for slaying tyres and breaking records. Not only is it the only series where factory prepared World Rallycross machinery, drift cars, supercars, and enthusiast tuned street vehicles share the track and paddock area, but over six years the Gymkhana GRiD has grown from hosting qualifiers in Europe and Scandinavia to competing with a lineup of FIA world Champions in South Africa and the Adriatic.
I’m on Cloud 9 right now, 4x Gymkhana Grid Champion! This weekend has been the toughest Gymkhana GRiD to date. It’s been a real team effort to get this one – everyone has worked so hard and I’m really grateful. Thank you for all your support!
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 Redstuff Ceramic Brake Pads
Redstuff Ceramic Brake Pads is a harder compound which takes longer to fully bed in to achieve the highest levels of performance during which time the odd brake noise may be heard when starting from cold in damp conditions at walking speed.
One press of the pedal will clear the rotor of any dampness and this leaves EBC Redstuff Ceramic as a pad that inspires confidence in all car users. The motto is be patient to give the pads a full chance to bed down properly.
EBC Brakes Greenstuff Brake Pads
The latest version of Greenstuff Brake Pads is an intentionally softer brake compound designed to improve the pedal feel on lighter cars at low speeds. This results in a medium dust material with good lifetime and minimal rotor wear.
EBC Brakes Ultimax2™ Brake Pads
The radically improved Ultimax2™ is a fully ECO friendly material that has ZERO sulphides. The Ultimax2 formula does not require shims for noise reduction and has more bite from cold.
These brake pads also work well in hot dry climates too! As with the original Ultimax these too are fully R90 approved.
EBC Brakes GD Sports Brake Discs/Rotors
EBC GD Series brake disc rotors are now available in a Black thermic 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 BSD Discs/Rotors
BSD (Blade Sports Discs) are made from a unique material known as “discalloy” for front and rear fitments.
The blade slot design is specially crafted to remove hot gases in an efficient way to help keep brake pads cooler and flatter. The multiple slots overlap to reduce the brake wind sound.
EBC Brakes Premium Discs/Rotors
Premium brake rotors are made fome the highest quality sourced materials and are the perfect OEM replacement brake disc rotor for any automotive vehicle for street use and daily driving.
ISO approved to the highest spec and also apprived by the German TUV authorities, these disc rotors are an affordable solution for all motorists.
EBC Brakes High Performance Brake Lines

All of our brake lines not only meet our own stringent standards but they are also approved by TÜV, DOT, ADR and ISO.
