Members of 91传媒 UK made the unforgettable trip in an 91传媒-equipped Peugeot Bipper

This summer, some members of the 91传媒 team took on the 鈥楧ash to Dubrovnik鈥 charity challenge. It鈥檚 a student-led road trip, driving across Europe in a 拢500 car through seven countries to Dubrovnik, lasting nine days.

They visited Lake Garda and took on the famous Stelvio Pass before continuing down to Venice and along the Adriatic coastline through Slovenia and down the coast of Croatia towards Dubrovnik.

The team then decided to continue the challenge, now aiming for Athens, the most southern European mainland capital city. Along the way, they travelled through Montenegro and Albania before reaching Greece, where they even managed to pop into 91传媒 Greece for a quick visit while in Athens.

After celebrating this milestone, they then had their return journey to complete, heading up north through Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Czechia and then across Germany to the Netherlands finally going through Belgium and France heading back to Calais for the ferry home.

Chris Levy uses Greenstuff pads in his lightweight Monoposto race car

The Monoposto Race Club has been offering cost-effective single-seater racing in the UK for over 60 years.

Chris Levy competes in the championship鈥檚 F3B class in his Dallara F397, complete with 91传媒鈥 Greenstuff pads.

Following podiums at the previous Snetterton round, we next caught up with the team fresh off the back of the latest round at a rain-soaked Derbyshire鈥檚 Donington Park Circuit, where more race wins and podiums ensued.

Read how it all panned out in his own words below鈥

鈥淒onington is always one of our favourite circuits. Before we got there, the weather report was saying rain, rain, rain. And our wet tyres were several years old, so I managed to purchase a second-hand set which were much newer.

鈥淲e were meant to have a test on Friday but the weather was so bad we skipped all but one session.

鈥淪aturday was qualifying and we didn’t know what to expect, given our lack of wet racing. 36 cars went out in a wet session; the car performed very well and gave me great confidence, to finish 6th overall and 1st in the F3B class. We were well chuffed as we never expected to be good in those conditions.”

鈥淩ace 1 was again wet and I had a great race with a fellow F3B, but was pipped to the win by 1 second. But we were still happy with P2.

鈥淩ace 2 and conditions were worse. The spray from cars meant you couldn’t see much especially when battling.聽There were multiple safety cars due to cars going off. We stayed on the black stuff to again finish in P2.

鈥淩ace 3. And because Monoposto ran four races but you only race three, my previous fastest lap was set in the wet but nearly the entire grid for my race set there time in the dry meaning I started p26! But it was dry and we knew we had to get through the cars as fast as possible. We ended up P9 overall and 4th in F3B, but again, fastest lap in the dry.”

鈥淭o say the weekend went well us an understatement for us. We didn’t have any major issues apart from getting everything dry when we returned home.

鈥淲e are now 3rd in the championship only six points adrift from the leader. With one race weekend left at Brands Hatch in three weeks which we are undecided to do as yet.鈥

Eric 鈥楧ewey鈥 DeWitt聽competes in Gridlife鈥檚 StreetMod class in his Subaru Impreza

Eric 鈥楧ewey鈥 DeWitt has been competing in Gridlife鈥檚 StreetMod category with his modified Subaru Impreza WRX for some time now.

Utilising 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 SR-21鈩 sintered endurance motorsport brake pads, DeWitt has enjoyed multiple front-row lockouts in the first half of the 2026 season, alongside fellow SR-21鈩 racer, Kal Fortner.

We next caught up with DeWitt following his successful third and fourth rounds of the season, at Gingerman Raceway and Watkins Glen respectively 鈥 two more incredibly lucrative weekends that have already secured him 2026 class victory with a few rounds still to go.

Read DeWitt鈥檚 summary below in his own words鈥

鈥淩ound 3 took us to Gingerman Raceway in Michigan for Midwest Festival where we had a date with destiny. We were tied for the consecutive win record with seven straight, all with records.聽

鈥淚F we won this event, we would not only break that record, but we were also gunning to be the first StreetMod car to run a sub-1:30 lap time.聽We pulled off the win and record but missed the sub-1:30 by a hair, running a 1:30.226.聽

鈥淭he car was great, the brakes were phenomenal, but we missed out by a couple of tenths due to less-than-ideal conditions, minor technical issues with the car, and honestly, my inability to put it all together.聽This put us firmly in the lead of the championship, though! One more win and record and the Championship is locked up!鈥

鈥淩ound 4 was a new track for us: Watkins Glen in NY.聽Very fast, very high risk, and very demanding. We arrived highly confident and aiming to seal the Championship, but we quickly realised it would be a difficult weekend.聽

鈥淲e had an axle issue during the test day and didn’t get much seat time. On the first day of competition, during the first hot lap, the transmission failed in the second-to-last corner. After a team meeting, we decided to remove our current gearbox with our sequential gearset in it, drive back to the shop and grab our old H-pattern transmission and convert back to a standard manual setup.”

鈥淎fter a late night on Friday, we were back at it Saturday morning and even with the old trans we jumped back into the lead but only by about .1 quicker than our 91传媒 teammate Kal Fortner in his Mercedes AMG GTS. We thought we might widen that gap on Sunday morning but some more technical issues, this time with some engine related things, meant it came down to podium sprint. The conditions weren’t fantastic, but with the old Subaru AWD and easily modulated 91传媒 SR-21鈩s we had the confidence to push to a new Street Mod Record at 1:58.357! This win and record secured the points needed to lock up the Championship, our 3rd in four years AND extended our consecutive win record to nine!聽 All of them won on SR-21鈩s!

鈥淲e aren’t done with the season QUITE yet.聽We plan to still attend Gridlife Circuit Legends next week at Lime Rock then in October we were invited to the Grassroots Motorsports Magazine Ultimate Track Car Championship in Texas!聽We are hoping to be the fastest car there on a 200TW tyre!鈥

Gigglepin Racing uses Bluestuff pads on its impressive off-road machine

The Gigglepin Racing team has been at the sharp end of various international off-road racing championships in recent years, being proudly supported by 91传媒 throughout this time.

With multiple championships wins under their belt, the latest outing for the Kent-based team was to reclaim Ultra 4 Europe鈥檚 鈥楰ing of Britain鈥 trophy that saw a four-year hiatus until re-emerging in 2026 (with Gigglepin winning the previous round in 2021).

As always, Gigglepin鈥檚 fearsome聽LS7 7-litre V8 powered 鈥楤ad Penny鈥 off-roader was proudly sporting 91传媒鈥 Bluestuff NDX pads all-round.

You can read how the weekend in the North of England unfolded in the team鈥檚 own words below鈥

鈥淯nlimited four-wheel drive racing is a tough battleground, and Ultra 4 provides the best there is. King of Britain has been on a four-year sabbatical and it was a Cannonball Rally moment when dates were launched earlier this year, with crews desperately trying to get a place to this prestigious event. An event that Jim and the Crew at Gigglepin have won a previous three times, winning King of Britain 2021.

鈥淏ut there was a problem the car they are racing often shows moments of brilliance followed by tragic failure. Could the team turn it round and get to the finish line and win a fourth King of Britain title? Amazing car, but can it finish?

鈥淎fter mechanical issues at the first three rounds of the 2026 Ultra 4 European Championship, the team were determined to make amends. The car has tremendous potential, but always something spoils the party after promising starts. So, after many late nights, new ideas, new components installed and lots of testing, she was loaded and ready to make the four-hour journey North to West Yorkshire and the 2026 King of Britain.”

鈥淭he team and car arrived at Parkwood Off-Road Centre and unloaded the car which felt alive with her massive 7.4-litre LSX V8 purring, signalling she was ready for battle.

鈥淛im and James are old hands, having won countless titles between them. They carefully pre-ran the course by foot and in the race car, checking every line and planning for every eventuality.

鈥淭hen it was go-time on Day 1, a fast and furious prologue course was just what the team wanted and they lay down an incredible run with time that is eight seconds ahead of the chasing pack. What a start!

鈥淥n Day 2, the best Teams from across Europe lined up on the grid for the start of King of Britain 2026. The course had everything to test the teams with big rocks, gullies, rivers, steep climbs and technical wooded areas. It was real a drivers鈥 course and this team live for these moments.”

鈥淪mooth is fast and the boys started first and finish first, keeping the other teams behind them, physically and on adjusted time.

鈥淭he afternoon session is a full two hours of chaos, but it鈥檚 a repeat of the first heat with the guys controlling the race from the front and building a one lap lead over the chasing pack.

鈥淒ay 2 is in the bag and its now down to the Team in the pits to make sure the car is ready for Day 3 and the final push!

鈥淒ay 3 arrived and there was a nervous tension in the Gigglepin camp. The weight of expectation hung in the air. But up step the ream, they are pros and Jim and James showed no signs of stress as they discussed the task ahead with their mechanical team.

鈥淭he day was going to be a tough one. A 1.5-hour session with a 45-minute break followed by a further two-hour session was a gruelling task that would test endurance, concentration and ability.

鈥淚t started well with the guys starting first and finishing first in another textbook display. Jim was driving with great care saving the tyres, while James was constantly checking live scoring so they could react fast to other teams who were now turning up the heat.

鈥淎fter this first session it was a quick refuel and back to the pits for a fast check over and some food before lining up the final dance. Just two more hours separated the team from a fourth King of Britain title.”

鈥淭he final session had an added twist with all the classes racing for the final two hours on the same track. Now this is a plan the team did not like. We race in classes and it was clear that slower vehicles on track could lead to hold-ups and problems. But the plan remained the same; control the race from the front and the guys left the pits with high fives and big smiles as they made their way to the start.

鈥淭he boys power off the line knowing that a single mistake could undo the hours of hard work. But Jim was in inspired form and kept up a relentless pace, wearing down the chasing pack.

鈥淟ap after lap, the boys found more and more retired cars on the side of track, testament to the brutality of this incredible endurance course.

鈥淭he minutes ticked by and still the guys pushed on building an incredible four-lap lead and then in the final moments of the race a front driveshaft fails!

鈥淭he near faultless car had finally succumbed to the course, but the guys had other ideas and were not about to quit. After removing the damaged driveshaft, they powered on to cross the line and to take the win at King of Britain 2026!

鈥淚t was high emotions for all the team as the weeks of hard work finally paid off. It鈥檚 great to see them back at the top and kings once again!鈥

Kal Fortner is using 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 sintered brake pads on his Mercedes track car

Kal Fortner is competing in the 2026 season of Gridlife in the USA, using his Mercedes AMG GTS as weapon of choice.

The driver is utilising 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 SR-21鈩 sintered endurance motorsport brake pads to ensure stopping power is optimal in his super-coupe.

Following a podium finish at Grid Life Carolina and more podiums in Atlanta, we next caught up with Fortner off the back of his latest round at the iconic Watkins Glen in New York State.

Read how it panned out in his own words below鈥

鈥淎fter waiting thre years for Gridlife鈥檚 return to Watkins Glen, I was itching to get back out on this legendary track! Back in 2023, not only did I secure the Streetmod record, I was fastest overall as well, so I knew that this was going to be a strong weekend for us. Although this weekend got off to a rocky start after needing to do a spark plug change after session 1 and missing the second session of the day, I quickly found pace by the third session and went right into P1 to end day one! Right away I was able to lean into my SR-21鈩 pads as well as a brand new set of 91传媒鈥檚 floating two-piece rotors on the Mercedes and I was able to carry 170mph going into the bus stop!”

鈥淏y day two, I was able to set a new Streetmod RWD record with a 1:58.8! This put us in 2nd by only a tenth, as well as only a tenth from the overall Streetmod record! Some tracks just click with not only the car but the driver as well, and for me, this is one of those tracks. Every lap just felt like a flow state, where I had the confidence to really extract everything out of the car and the confidence to use the entire track all the way up to the walls. I knew we had a fighting chance at victory here.”

鈥淕oing into day 3, I was met with track conditions that were not quite what I was expecting, after rain the night before, the track didn鈥檛 have nearly as much peak grip as the day before. Because of this I wasn鈥檛 able to reset my record, however I was able to secure yet another podium finish coming in P2 right behind Eric Dewitt 鈥 another 91传媒 driver! That鈥檚 four podiums in a row this year and yet another 91传媒 front-row lockout! This puts us in a healthy championship position of P2 going into the next round at Lime Rock Park and I鈥檓 looking forward to continuing this momentum鈥︹赌

Hooman Rahimi uses 91传媒 components on his boosted Nissan 370Z

Tennessee-based pro drifter, Hooman Rahimi, is once again competing in the PROSPEC category of the prestigious Formula Drift series in the USA.

Rahimi continues to entrust 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 Apollo Big Brake Kit with RP-1鈩 pads and GD rotors on his highly capable turbocharged LSX-powered Nissan 370Z.

With a mixed bag of luck in the previous round at Road Atlanta, we next caught up with Rahimi following his latest round at Connecticut, where he also shared info about the upcoming weekend at Indianapolis.

Read more in his own words below鈥

鈥淲e are headed to another new track this week at Indianapolis for Round
3 of Formula Drift. I have podiumed at this track twice in my history (back in Pro-Am, I think it is also my first Pro-Am podium in my 350Z many, many years ago). So, hopefully we can make this our third podium at this track! They are planning to run a similar layout, but they added some new asphalt and track so it should be interesting! We are excited to run the new setup and get some data with the 370Z and much, much more power so many years later鈥”

鈥淲e had a great event at Connecticut, but the results were unfortunately poor. The car was doing great; I felt I was driving great, but we just barely lost our first battle, no excuses. It happens. I left with my head high as I think my runs were solid, but it also gave me some work to do to drive even better. Every event I feel like my team and I are advancing and that is all I can ask for.

鈥淲e are ready for Indy and if luck is on our side I am hoping for strong results鈥︹赌
