The race driver competes in the MSVT series in her Apollo Big Brake Kit-fitted Honda
Following a sensational overall win in the 2024 MSVT Trackday Championship, Irish race driver Nicole Drought has recently unveiled a new EBC Brakes livery on her EP3 Honda Civic Type R, which she’ll use to defend her title in the 2025 season.
Previously competing alongside Justin Roberts, the duo has been running an EBC Brakes Racing Apollo Big Brake Kit for some time now, which was recently upgraded with the firm’s SR-11™ sintered endurance race pads – components which have helped them yield some great results in recent years. With Roberts not taking part this year, it’ll be up to Drought alone to pilot the car to victory this time.
The hot hatch briefly returned to Drought’s native Ireland in the off-season, to visit Precision Tint and Graphics in County Meath for an all-new EBC Brakes livery, which was recently unveiled. The Honda is also receiving some subtle upgrades from Motion Motorsport, who will also run the car for the season.
During the unveiling ceremony, Drought spoke to Motorsport.ie about the year ahead:
“I’m excited about this season. We improved the car race by race in 2024 and we have a few changes ahead of the ’25 season too. I can’t wait to race with number 1 on the car. It looks fantastic and I can’t thank Jay O’Reilly and the team at Precision Tint and Graphics enough. I really enjoyed driving alongside Justin last season and even though he is stepping away this year, he is still hugely supportive.
Big thanks, as ever, to Siltex Safety, Gem Oils, Joe Mallon Motors and ITM Digital for their support.”
SR-11™ Endurance Pads
A medium-friction sintered endurance motorsport compound that’s targeted for front of street base cars where high ABS effect exists on the car or for the front and rear of race cars with bias controls.
Apollo Balanced Big Brake Kit
EBC Brakes’ new Balanced Big Brake Kits represent the ultimate upgrade in braking performance, offering significant reductions in stopping distances whether used on road or on track.
