The roadster was put through its paces at a track event at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course last autumn
During the Porsche Club of America’s High-Performance Driving Event at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course back in October 2024, the owner of this 2003 Porsche Boxster S, Ashley, used the weekend as an opportunity to try out EBC Brakes Racing’s RP-1™ track/motorsport brake pads.
RP-1™ is a high-performance brake pad developed through EBC Brakes’ motorsport division – EBC Brakes Racing. Offering excellent performance throughout the heat range, it’s ideal for heavy track day and club racing applications, whilst remaining useable for more everyday driving conditions (please note: RP-1™ may not be legal for road use in countries where R90 approval is required).
You can read how Ashley got on with RP-1™ in her comments below…
“As an amateur racer, EBC RP-1™ brake pads have enhanced the performance of my 2003 Porsche Boxster S through the consistency of the brake pedal under heavy braking. The quality of the brakes allows high stopping power into the corners and late braking on the back straightaway at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The pads perform phenomenally on the track and the street.”
“These brakes have an amazing bite with limited noise on and off the track. You wouldn’t know the magnitude of the brake’s capabilities on the streets. The brakes are incognito when cruising on the roads and lively on the track.
“I would highly recommend these to those who want brakes that can be used as a daily driver while converting them to track brakes with limited effort and ease. While braking on the track, my brakes are heavily worked with limited pad wear. They can take the heat and maintain a consistent pedal feel after multiple track sessions.”
RP-1™ Track/Race Pads
EBC Brakes Racing’s dedicated motorsport pad RP-1™ pairs high-performance with unprecedented modulation and control, resulting in a track pad that feels uniquely different to the competition and allows drivers to extract every last tenth from each and every braking zone.
