Sole Supplier Since 2013
AP Racing has supplied complete braking and clutch systems to every car on the Supercars grid for over a decade. Its components currently support the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, first introduced in the 2018 season, and the Ford Mustang GT, which joined in 2019. Additionally, AP Racing supplies its full brake and clutch package to the Gen3 Toyota GR Supra. Toyota is a new entrant to the 2026 lineup.
Championship Demands High-Performance Braking
The Supercars series is known for high-speed circuits, aggressive racing, and demanding braking zones. As a result, components face extreme stress throughout race weekends. AP Racing’s systems are engineered to deliver consistent performance under these conditions, providing drivers with reliable control across an entire season.
David Hamblin, Managing Director of AP Racing, said: “Reaching 400 Supercars wins is an incredible achievement and one we are extremely proud of. The championship is one of the toughest touring car series in the world, and to play a part in its success story for so long is a real honour. This milestone reflects the dedication of our engineers, our partners in the paddock, and the relentless pursuit of performance that defines AP Racing.”
Toyota GR Supra Shows Early Promise
The 2026 season also marks Toyota’s entry as a third manufacturer on the grid. In the opening race weekend, Chaz Mostert and Ryan Wood placed fourth and fifth for Walkinshaw TWG Racing on Sunday.
Hamblin added: “Alongside the established Ford Mustang GT and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, we’re also delighted to see the Toyota GR Supra perform strongly in the first race weekend of the season. This gives us an exciting preview of what’s to come in a competitive 2026 season with a third manufacturer on the grid.”
Brembo Group Connection
AP Racing, part of the Brembo group, remains committed to supporting Supercars as the championship evolves. The company uses the series as a proving ground for braking technologies that ultimately benefit customers across motorsport and high-performance road applications.
