Innovator Brake to showcase new product line, debut Stellar Performance Award at renowned vintage racing event
SANTA ROSA, California., August 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Orbis Brakes is launching its innovative line of Periodic Wave™ disc brakes in dramatic fashion, serving as the Preferred Brake of the 2022 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion August 17-20 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
Orbis Brakes is historically launched as the preferred Brake of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion
This year’s Rolex Reunion will curate the largest display of Le Mans winning or historically significant cars ever assembled for display and show laps. It is one of only two events worldwide to showcase cars currently in private collections or museums restored to racetrack performance. The four-day event is a featured attraction of Monterey Car Week.
The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion represents the first event sponsorship for Orbis Brakes, Northern California company making news through a partnership with NASA that produced the Periodic Wave™ disc brakes, a proprietary design that uses advanced aerodynamics to provide superior surface cooling, reduce dangerous brake fade and extended vehicle range and fuel efficiency. Orbis Brakes has also attracted attention with its potential to reduce environmental impact. Weighing an average of 50% less than conventional cast iron brakes, Orbis Brakes is expected to lower carbon consumption throughout the supply chain, while simultaneously reducing harmful brown emissions.
Participants at Laguna Seca will be given a first look at Orbis brake models, including NextWave™ and FutureWave™ models designed to overcome the full brake spectrum.
Orbis will also use Monterey spotlight to present the first-ever Stellar Performance in Braking Award, an honor given to drivers who display superior braking maneuvers on the racetrack. The first prize will be awarded Alex Zanardi in honor of his last pass in the lap of Bryan Herta in the final race of the 1996 PPG Indy World Car Series at the same Laguna Seca Speedway, which is still considered one of the greatest crossings in motorsports history. Another stellar performance award will be given to one of this year’s Rolex Reunion contestants, as determined by a panel of judges. Stellar Braking Performance will become an ongoing award from Orbis, using in-car footage submitted by drivers and teams.
Orbis Brakes will host a Pre-Award Ceremony, Trophy Display and Moet Champagne Toast prior to the presentation of the Stellar Performance in Braking Award at Saturday, August 20th4:45 to 5:45 at the Orbis Brakes booth located in the paddock in front of the Le Mans Heritage exhibit.
