The pedal box is mounted into a reinforced framework that is integrated into the cage to assure that the brake pedal feel will be nice and stiff. The hydraulics are fitted with pressure sensors, so the line pressure can be logged by the AEM Infinity ECU.
Modern drift cars need pretty substantial brakes. Just a few years ago, cars used super lightweight, solid sprint car rotors, and that was enough because sliding sideways scrubbed off a lot of speed and the brakes were not used much.
With the advent of the 1000 hp drift car with sticky tires, sophisticated suspension, and high angles driving styles that require heavy left foot braking, suddenly good brakes have become important. The Papadakis Racing team's level of brake development will soon become the norm.
The Papadakis Racing iM rides on Motegi Technomesh wheels 17×9″ in the front and 18×10″ in the rear. For rubber, the car uses 245/40-17 front and 275/40-18 Nexen N'fera SUR4 tires.
