Almost every car in all categories chose the Italian Company’s products, characterized by extremely low wear and more efficient thermal conductivity Stezzano, Italy, 11 June 2019 – Sixty-two cars, divided into four different categories, will take the green flag in the 87° edition of the classic 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s greatest endurance race. The top contenders will be primarily the prototypes, divided into LMP1 and LMP2. Just a bit lower performance, but by no means slow, are the Grand Touring Endurance (GTE), with the two categories LM GTE Pro and LM GTE Am reserved for series production cars.

The race has run since 1923 on the semi-permanent Circuit de la Sarthe, characterized by heavy braking, especially close to the two chicanes dividing the long Mulsanne straight where braking systems have however the possibility to cool. It’s essential for the teams to be able to ensure that the brake system always remains within the correct range of operating temperatures. In this edition, Brembo technicians, who have more than twenty years of experience in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, focused on the lightweight, high stiffness and reliable braking systems technology, thanks above all to the fact that the friction material of the Italian Company, if used in the correct operating conditions, lasts for the entire competition, without need for replacement. Brembo provides the teams with a friction material characterised by extremely low wear and more efficient thermal conductivity.
