Leaders in brake friction technology, Mintex, gave attendees at Goodwood Revival Festival an exclusive first look at its new range of brake pads and shoe linings, which will service the entire classic car market, ahead of its official launch in 2016.
Mintex, which is one of the most famous brands in motorsport with more than 90 years of race winning experience, has been manufacturing brake systems for over 100 years. As one of the pioneers of the brake discs and pads that we know today, Mintex will extend its racing range to ensure parts are readily available on a wide range of classic cars including AC Cobra, Ford GT40, Jaguar D-Type/E-Type, Aston Martin and Ferrari.
Mintex Classic has been specially designed for the classic rally and circuit racing industry as the pads reach a higher temperature and torque rating than standard cars. The brakes will use modern materials on historic back plates to refashion pads from the late 1950s and shoes from earlier, helping Mintex recreate a period of racing dominance.
