Every successful motorsport project starts with confidence in the braking system. Whether you are competing in drifting, rally, circuit racing, hillclimb, time attack, Formula Student or you are building a high performance track or kit car, brake feel and brake balance are critical to how a vehicle performs.

Aerodynamics Promises to Redefine How F1 Cars will Look. Formula 1 has always been a battle between imagination and regulation, engineers pushing boundaries while the rulebook tries to keep pace. As the 2026 regulation changes approach, the next era of F1 aerodynamics promises to redefine how F1 cars look, feel, and perform. The focus is shifting from raw downforce toward smarter efficiency, where every cubic meter of air counts, and sustainability becomes just as vital as s

Precision braking is the cornerstone of performance driving. Whether you are setting up a track car, developing a rally vehicle or fine-tuning a kit car for road and competition, understanding how hydraulic components interact will transform your driving experience. The master cylinder, brake bias valve, and hydraulic handbrake each play a critical role in how braking pressure, pedal feel and control are delivered to the wheels.

When you picture a Formula 1 car, one feature always stands out is the towering F1 rear wing. Perched high above the rear wheels, it’s one of the most visible, and most important, pieces of aerodynamic hardware. While the floor might quietly produce the bulk of downforce, the rear wing is the anchor, keeping the car planted and balanced through high-speed corners. Add in clever tools like DRS and the beam wing, and you have a fascinating blend of stability and speed.

As a Formula 1 car thunder down a straight, the very first thing to hit the air is not the engine, the tires, or even the driver's helmet, it's the nose and front wing cutting through the air in F1. That is where aerodynamics become important. How a front wing cuts, flexes, and diverts airflow determines how the rest of the car will act. It is the maestro conductor, striking the note for everything else to come.

In the world of motorsport, success is measured in fractions of a second—and when it comes to building, tuning, or maintaining a competitive vehicle, every component counts. That’s where Upgrade Motorsport comes in.
