TMD Friction, via its Mintex brand, has launched a new website https://mintex.com/mintex-racing/ dedicated to its racing heritage and high-performance products, offering an insight into why winners choose Mintex – and have done for over 100 years.

With a winning formula stretching back to the 1920s, Mintex Racing Brake pads deliver proven performance on a daily basis.

Developed and engineered by TMD Friction and used by some of the world’s very best drivers, Mintex has helped many teams to victory, from Mike Hawthorn in 1955 at Le Mans, Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks at the British Grand Prix at Aintree in 1957 and Colin McRae at the First WRC Event in 1987, to all drivers in the 2021 Mini Challenge, which supports the BTCC.
