BOD Racing Runs TTSPORT Big Brake Kits at the Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Macau Touring Car Round

BOD Racing brought TTSPORT TR60/TR41 big brake kits to the Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Macau Touring Car Championship round on May 7-9, and the team walked away with a practice win, the weekend's fastest qualifying lap, and back-to-back podium finishes across a weekend that swung from soaked track to blazing heat.

A Weekend That Punished Weak Brakes

The three-day round threw everything at the field: standing water on race morning, a fast-drying track by afternoon, then rising track temps that didn't let up. Grip levels moved around lap to lap, and every driver had to recalibrate braking points session to session. Multiple cars in the field ran the same setup — TTSPORT TR60 front and TR41 rear racing calipers — giving the team a proven, consistent baseline to build a race weekend around instead of guessing at brake behavior in changing conditions.

Wet-track braking is unforgiving. Too much bite at turn-in and the front pushes wide or the rear steps out; too little and drivers scrub entry speed they can't get back. In standing water, the TR60/TR41 setup gave drivers a linear pedal — brake force builds predictably as pedal travel increases, with no sudden grab or dead spot — so drivers could find a real braking point and trust it lap after lap instead of feathering the pedal out of caution.

That confidence showed up where it counts — in traffic, under pressure, braking later than the car ahead without second-guessing it. On a slick surface, a caliper that telegraphs exactly how much stopping power is available is worth more than raw clamping force alone.

Once the track dried and temperatures climbed, the challenge flipped from grip management to heat management. Every hard stop converts kinetic energy into heat at the rotor face — string enough of those together and a weaker system starts to fade, with the pedal going long and stopping distances creeping up lap after lap. TTSPORT's calipers held their line-pressure output through the extended, high-temperature stints, so drivers kept the same brake markers deep into the session instead of backing off to protect against fade.

Why It Showed Up in the Results

Stable pedal feel and resistance to thermal fade don't just make a car easier to drive — they're what let a driver commit to a late brake point on lap 15 the same way they did on lap 1. That consistency is what turned into results for BOD Racing this weekend.

Liang Jingxi backing up a podium in the second Group A race wasn't a fluke lap — it's what a repeatable brake package looks like when the car underneath the driver doesn't change character between sessions.

From the Track to the Street

TTSPORT has spent more than 20 years building high-performance braking systems, and every racing weekend like this one feeds straight back into product development. Whether it's a full touring car grid running TR60/TR41 kits in changing weather or a street car getting its first big brake upgrade, the goal is the same: a system a driver can trust the moment they need it most.
