2015 Indy Lights Series Selects PFC Brakes As Official Brake Supplier

PFC says it is proud to be on all three ladders of the "Road to Indy," as open wheel racing is part of PFC's DNA. Indy Lights new Dallara IL - 15 car is the next exciting step to get to the Indy 500.

CLOVER, S.C. – PFC Brakes has announced it will be the official brake supplier for the 2015 Indy Lights Series and will be featured on the Dallara IL – 15 car. The new PFC full brake package utilizes purpose-built, shape-optimized, six-pot Monobloc calipers, PFC discs with patented slot pattern and PFC race pads. The new Indy Lights full PFC brake package will feature the all-new PFC ZR81 six-piston mono bloc calipers, PFC discs and PFC pads on the front and rear. The PFC mono bloc calipers — specifically designed for the Dallara uprights — are 30 percent stiffer than the current calipers, according to PFC. The new disc assemblies feature PFC’s new patented V3 technology to eliminate hardware, reduce weight and allow for quick changes, the company says. The new PFC package is designed for longer life and added capacity.
 
Despite the added capacity, the new PFC brake package is lighter, stiffer, cooler and quicker, PFC says. Testing of PFC pad compounds to compliment Cooper tires has been ongoing since 2011, to suit road courses, street courses and oval courses.
 
The origin of the Indy Lights Series began in 1986, and has been a developmental race series sanctioned by IndyCar, founded in 2002 as the Infiniti Pro Series. The series has produced some of the most famous names in racing, including Marco Andretti, Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan. Many of the drivers continue on into the official IndyCar Series and the Indianapolis 500.
