Torrance, California USA - With the use of the StopTech AeroRotor® Direct Replacement Kit (DRK), the Unitech Racing team placed 1st and 3rd in the Grand-Am Cup Series Mid-Ohio 250 and produced the first North American professional series win for the Nissan 350Z.

The StopTech 350Z two-piece AeroRotor® DRK made its on track debut after being sent overnight for Saturday delivery after a request from the team. Once the AeroRotors® were installed, the team noticed an immediate improvement. In the first time out, lap times dropped dramatically, allowing the #33 car to clock its fastest time of the race weekend. The drivers found they could brake deeper and gained a 0.5 second per lap advantage with the StopTech equipment.

“We could not believe that rotors could make such a difference,” said Jackson Stewart, owner of the Unitech Racing team. “We contribute 50 percent of our win to the StopTech AeroRotors.”

The overall handling of the vehicle was improved with the AeroRotor® DRK by the substantial reduction of unsprung weight. The AeroRotor® DRK is 2.5 pounds lighter per front rotor assembly and more than 2.75 pounds lighter per rear rotor than the stock rotors, creating a total reduction of 10.5 lbs total weight savings versus the stock rotors.

StopTech’s directional AeroRotors® with directional AeroHatsTM (patent pending) provide the best rotor airflow of any vaned racing rotor available on the market today. Better airflow means better cooling, less fade and reduced pad wear.

The entire staff of StopTech congratulates the Unitech Racing team on their impressive win and outstanding performances.
