Grand Prix Success Continues in Germany
 Formula One
German Grand Prix at the famous
Hockenmeim circuit, saw AP Racing's domination of supplying Brakes and/or Clutches to Formula One continued, with a clean sweep of the top 10 finishers for our products.
When the chequered flag came down it was our 659th GP success, a truely magnificent achievement which AP Racing are confident of increasing in the future.
The UK company has racked up that amazing tally in just 37 years. The very first car to win a grand prix with AP Racing's brakes was the Ferrari 312B driven by Mario Andretti in the South African GP at Kyalami back in March 1971. It was, remarkably, Andretti's first competitive outing for Ferrari. The technical comparisons between the brakes used for the landmark occasions make for interesting reading. Where the caliper weighed 3.6 kg in 1971, it tipped the scales in Bahrain at 1.6 kg. The disc itself weighed 4 kg in 1971 but now weighs just 1.75 kg! AP Racing has an outstanding record in F1 - 659th Grand Prix wins starting at the Dutch GP in 1967 have been won with cars that used the British company's brakes, clutches, or both.
