PAGID Racing brake pads were fitted to the car that won two TCR World Tour races at Inje, South Korea. They were also on the cars that took five of the six available podium finishes in the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup races at Monza, according to the brake pad maker. Spanish driver Mikel Azcona won Races 1 and 3 at Inje last weekend in a Hyundai Elantra N TCR running PAGID Racing brake pads, which moved him into the lead of the Touring Car World Cup drivers’ standings. The company notes that winning two races in a single TCR World Tour weekend is rare.

PAGID Racing is the official supplier of Hyundai Motorsport in the TCR class. It also partners with the BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse racing team. Azcona is a Hyundai factory driver, and the company says he has used PAGID Racing brake pads throughout his title-winning seasons:

Earlier this year, Azcona won the TCR class at the Nürburgring 24 Hours on PAGID Racing RSX brake pads. He is now targeting another touring car title, with three race weekends still to run in 2026.
