30th January 2009
A thermal barrier ceramic coating used on a Honda Civic race car has allowed its team to realise the true capacity of its petrol tank, helping it achieve a best ever 6th place in the Britcar 24 hour race.
Using Zircotec's exhaust coating permitted the team to fill the car with an extra 16 litres of fuel per stop. This in turn, allowed the car to run for an incredible three hours between stints, resulting in a class win and with the car being the first front wheel drive car home.
The team originally approached Zircotec to coat the Honda's exhaust to reduce cockpit temperatures. Endurance racing requires drivers to stay focussed and comfortable for up to three hour stints including the challenging night time driving. Zircotec's coatings have been proven to inhibit the transfer of heat from exhausts to reduce surface temperatures by more than 170ºC.
