AP Racing Brakes are to fast Corvettes, as peanut butter is to jelly!
10.30.2019Certain things in this world complement each other perfectly. Laurel and Hardy, pen and paper, and of course PB&J. One lesser-known pair of complementary entities that bring out the best in the other are AP Racing and fast Corvettes. AP Racing brakes have been the anchors of choice for the fastest Corvettes at the pinnacle of sportscar racing for the past two decades. Most prominently are well over 100 race wins on the iconic Corvette Racing/Pratt & Miller C5.R, C6.R, and C7.R, including eight victories at Le Mans, thirteen manufacturer titles, and 12 driver titles. AP Racing brakes also helped carry the Action Express Corvette Daytona Prototypes to three consecutive championships in IMSA from 2014-2016.
Besides continually pushing brake technology forward at the elite level of sportscar racing, Essex Parts Services and AP Racing have helped privateer teams throughout the pro ranks, club racers, time trialers, and autocrossers pedal their Corvettes to victory every week. We have a lengthy list of championships in SCCA, NASA, USTCC, etc. For those who don't necessarily race but still want to go fast, we've provided the stoppers that allow them to spend less time cursing and wrenching, and more time driving.
We unfortunately don't always have time to post the results our customers send us each week, but that doesn't make us any less proud of their achievements! We wanted to create this post to celebrate their success and share some of their stories. If you can add to this post with some of your own exploits on our Essex Designed AP Racing Brake Systems, then by all means please email us with your details. Thanks for your continued support ladies and gents, and please enjoy this customer compilation.
