The ninth and final stage of 2019 Copa Truck takes place Sunday, December 8, at the Interlagos Circuit in São Paulo (SP). To compete in the grand finale, the trucks hit the track with front and rear brake pads produced by Cobreq, a trademark of TMD Friction, a Nisshinbo group company.
Cobreq brake pads were present throughout the 2019 season races. Extremely demanding when facing critical situations during an hour of racing, the parts are developed with high technology to withstand temperatures that can exceed 500 ° C, depending on the circuits.
The use of suitable, quality components enables better performance for race trucks, which use brakes repeatedly at high speeds and require greater friction stability over various temperature and pressure ranges in the brake system..
