Motorsports Success for PFC North America

PFC Brakes strengthens its position across North American motorsports, with major developments and race-winning performances spanning INDYCAR, INDY NXT, USF Pro Championship Series, NASCAR, IMSA, GT World Challenge America, F4 U.S., Formula 3 Regional U.S. and more.

As the official brake supplier of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, PFC Brakes remains at the center of one of the most competitive championships in the world. One of the season’s most notable developments came at the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500, where PFC introduced a specially designed brake caliper package engineered specifically for the event.

James Borner, product innovation manager for PFC Brakes, said, “The updated systems were introduced to eliminate any issues with pit-entry brake zones that have come up in the past few years. The biggest change was in the caliper piston bores, with a reduction of around 22%.

Borner added, “This change, along with a mandated larger master cylinder, allows for reduced pedal travel while also providing additional pad retraction to give teams the lowest drag possible. At the same time, it maintains a safe pedal feel without any knockback or issues requiring drivers to pump the pedal multiple times to stop the cars. Additional changes were made to the pistons to improve the consistency of the pad retraction systems.”

The new systems were first tested in October 2025 with two teams before being evaluated by all teams during the April IMS Open Test.

PFC also serves as the official brake supplier of the INDY NXT by Firestone series, where the next generation of racing talent continues to make its mark. The series has featured close competition throughout the season, highlighted by Myles Rowe’s impressive last-to-first victory at World Wide Technology Raceway. Rookie Alessandro de Tullio and Enzo Fittipaldi have also attracted attention with strong performances as the season progresses.

Beyond open-wheel racing, PFC Brakes continues to achieve success throughout North America. PFC Brakes is a leading brake pad manufacturer in the NASCAR Cup Series. We also supply pads and discs to top teams in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts and Craftsman Truck Series. We serve as the only purpose-built race caliper provider in NASCAR’s international series, including Mexico and Canada, and continue to expand these partnerships.

PFC Brakes has continued its momentum throughout the 2026 season across both asphalt and dirt racing, providing coast-to-coast trackside support and technical solutions in major racing series including ASA STARS, CARS Tour, NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, NASCAR Late Model Stocks, World of Outlaws Late Models, Super DIRTcar Series, Trans Am and more. Product development remains a key focus, with the ZR105 caliper entering its final stages of development alongside several new caliper platforms and dirt-specific pad compounds nearing release. PFC also continues to strengthen its dealer and support network, ensuring race-winning braking solutions are available to competitors across North America.

Andersen Promotions and the USFPro, USFPro 2000, and USFJuniors Series continue to experience impressive growth in 2026. F4 U.S. and Formula Regional Americas have also produced highly competitive racing, showcasing the talent pipeline that feeds the next generation of professional drivers.
