Halo By Orthene Appoint Racing Import For Spain
Press Release –Halo By Orthene has announced a new partnership with leading Spanish and Portuguese motorsport specialists, Racing Import, becoming the official distributor for the Motorsport-specific brake fluid for the region.
Highly regarded for their extensive experience in motorsport, spanning more than four decades, Racing Import are known for much more than distribution, having supported many major global and domestic championships from a technical perspective, ranging from WTCC to European single-seater and rally championships, right through to rally raid.
Lloyd Ker of Halo By Orthene announced the partnership, commenting, “We are very pleased to reach agreement with a team as experienced as Racing Import. For us, this is much more than a regular distribution agreement due to their extensive technical experience too. Gaining feedback from racers using our product is vitally important and what keeps Halo at the front of the field, so to align with a distributor as experienced as Racing Import is an important step for us in markets as key as Spain. We look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
Owned by Orthene in the UK, a specialist brake fluid manufacturer since 1976, and who supply many other major brands, Halo is the firm’s dedicated motorsport brand, offering the most advanced racing brake fluid on the market - Halo P1 - thanks to the purest formulation process offering a superior dry boiling point and unmatched incompressibility in the most extreme circumstances.
In addition to the temperature levels Halo P1 can withstand, the other most notable factor is in the compressibility at high temperatures. This provides a much harder pedal for the driver. The soft or spongy feel is eliminated, and braking distance stays consistent with minimal fade which inspires confidence in the driver to keep pushing in extreme conditions.
Nacho Perez Puente of Racing Import, commented, “We are very pleased to begin our collaboration with Halo By Orthene, specifically for the P1 product. We test and analyze every product before we consider adding it to our lineup, and with Halo P1 we were very impressed with the performance during our tests. We look forward to working with the team at Orthene, both as distributors and as technical partners in our markets.”
