Surface Transforms, is now the time to build a stake.

The update was exactly where I expected them to be in all effect, 2006 should see "a" or "some" smaller OEM sign ups for System ST as standard, followed by more in 2007, with 2008 seeing car braking becoming big, just as Rocket components and Aircraft braking projects kick in. Still all in the three year plan to significant change, and good news that some very significant progress is now being made on the car braking systems, a lot of the failures would appear down to a lack of understanding in the past on the full tuning of brake systems for cars (all components), a problem which is now overcome as was noted at the recent AGM prior to todays update.

Track Testing News
13th December 2005
Another Successful Track Day.............On car development of System ST ceramic discs continues with further track testing at the Ty Croes circuit on Anglesey. The circuit is relatively short and very demanding on the brakes of any car negotiating the circuit, making it an ideal location for brake evaluation. Yesterday we saw a back to back comparison between two identical cars, the only difference being the installation of System ST on one of the cars. Three experienced test drivers all reported that the ceramic brake
option showed its full benefit on the track, providing a consistent brake throughout the period on the track, showing no signs of fade as seen with the cast iron discs. The brake was much more positive and hence the test drivers could brake that bit much later on approaching a bend "The ceramic brakes are much better than the cast iron" said Gavin Beach. Technical Director of TVR Engineering. "There was no fade in the brakes as they got warm and I had more time to think about gear changes on approaching a bend, due to the additional confidence in the capability of the brakes."
SystemST ceramic brakes are unique in their suitability for both road and track use.
Surface Transforms Plc offers ceramic discs and upgrade kits for a variety of high performance cars including several Ferrari, Porsche and BMW models.
