Brakes

The TBRe Formula Student car must, by regulation, run two independent hydraulic brake systems. Historically, we have used twin 2-pot calipers on the front axle and a single 2-pot caliper on the rear axle, running DOT 4 performance fluid. Brakes have been one of the team's most challenging areas in recent years, with issues such as boiling fluid, excessive float, caliper failures, leaking lines, and weeping nipples affecting reliability. For 2026, we are aiming for a step-change in brake system performance and reliability. This includes thermal...
