The development of braking systems begins long before the car hits the track. As soon as the main features of a Hypercar are defined – weight, power, overall architecture – Brembo reports for duty. The main goal is to adapt the braking system to the specific requirements of Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), including endurance, consistency, thermal resistance and integration with the car’s other components. It is a strategic co-design process.
Team Requirements: performance, Reliability and Endurance
The 24 Hours teams expect their brakes to be efficient, reliable and able to withstand extreme thermal pressure. Consistent braking over 24 hours is essential, as is the ability to operate effectively in ever-changing circumstances:…
