Leading the way: AP Racing takes 900th Formula 1 Grand Prix win.

Leading motorsport brake and clutch systems supplier, AP Racing, has recorded a landmark 900 Grand Prix victories in the Formula 1 World Championship. The milestone was reached at last weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix, held at the Shanghai International Circuit, where Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli took the top step of the podium for the first time in his Formula 1 career.

A manufacturer of racing and high-performance brake and clutch systems, AP Racing’s pedigree is unmatched, with eight out of eleven teams on the Formula 1 grid running parts from the British company. For more five decades, AP Racing’s expertise in cutting-edge technology and components have helped drive success for many of the sport’s most successful teams.

The latest win contrasts with AP Racing’s first, taken at the 1967 Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, with Jim Clarke driving his Lotus 49. Fast forward almost sixty years - the cars and drivers may look vastly different, but AP Racing’s experience and expertise is continuing to prove as integral as ever.

David Hamblin, Managing Director of AP Racing, commented: “This incredible landmark is a testament to the innovation, teamwork and expertise found at AP Racing, both now and over the past almost 60 years. We have consistently delivered world-class, high-tech racing products to some of the most demanding teams. The fast-paced world of Formula 1 constantly strives to shave thousands of a second off a lap time, so the team here at AP Racing can feel immense pride at reliably delivering excellence in our products, not just over the course of a lap, but for 59 seasons.”

AP Racing is part of the Brembo group. For more information about the company’s latest clutch, brake disc, brake pad, pedal box and air jack technologies, visit: www.apracing.com.
