More than 20 garage and workshop owners enjoyed the thrills and spills of the British leg of the prestigious Blancpain GT Series (Endurance Cup) at Silverstone recently, as guests of Pagid.
Pagid Racing is the official braking partner to the BLACK FALCON racing team and the exclusive motorsport brand of TMD Performance, part of the TMD Friction Group.
Three BLACK FALCON Mercedes-AMG GT3 cars lined up on the grid against Ferrari, Lamborghini and other world-renowned super cars.
BLACK FALCON claimed victory in the Silver Cup class, hot in the tracks of its success in the same class at the series-opener in Monza.
Hosted in the BLACK FALCON team’s hospitality facilities, the group of around 50 guests, including Pagid customers, their ‘plus ones’ and representatives from Euro Car Parts and TMD Friction, were able to enjoy ‘access all areas’ privileges, including the paddock and pit garage, as well as getting to meet the drivers.
Phil Woodcock, UK key account manager for Pagid, said: “We had a spectacular day in the sunshine enjoying top-class motorsport, with BLACK FALCON winning the Silver Cup class capping the day off perfectly.
“Everything Pagid Racing learns on the track is fed back to the experts in our research and development facility at TMD Friction in Germany, and influences the braking technology we bring to market for the Pagid brand.
“Teaming up with BLACK FALCON to bring this exciting opportunity to our customers was possibly the most successful Pagid customer event to date and we will certainly look to do something like this again soon.”
The thrilling yet unpredictable Endurance Cup features strict performance specifications to keep the field as close as possible and is an intense set of races focusing on driver skill and engineering set-up.
One of Pagid’s guests, Darren Vance, from LTM Motors in Rotherham, said: “Having never been to Silverstone before, it was a real privilege to be invited to this event with Pagid, which gave us behind the scenes access at the home of British motorsport.
“Meeting the drivers and their crews and asking questions about their strategies and technical set-up gave us a real insight into the level of skill and expertise required to drive in this fast and furious event.
“It was a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable day.”
Covering 99 per cent of the UK’s vehicle parc, Pagid offers a wide range of brake pads and discs, complemented by a full range of professional braking tools.
The Blancpain GT Series runs over ten events with five endurance cup and five sprint cup races.
