Steller Motorsport chooses Halo P1 for its LMP3 and GT race programmes

Press Release –

Steller Motorsport, renowned protagonists in the British GT series and more recently in the Michelin Le Mans Cup in LMP3 and GT3, have chosen leading motorsport brake fluid manufacturer, Halo By Orthene, as its sole brake fluid supplier, utising the brand’s P1 product across its racing activity.

Running Halo P1 in their top-tier competition, the Buckinghamshire-based squad, who have achieved success at the highest levels, including British GT championship success in 2022, have turned to Halo P1 after extensive testing showed considerable performance advantages for its drivers across the board.

Max Daymond, Steller Motorsport Technical Director, commented, “In Motorsport you’re always looking for small gains everywhere you can, and when it comes to braking efficiency, not only can it make a difference in your lap time, it could influence that dramatic overtake that grants you the win. 
“When we started looking into Halo P1 By Orthene it was clear that their passion, expertise and vast experience could help us give our drivers the consistency and efficiency they need to win races. In testing and racing this year, we’ve seen superb heat resistance from Halo P1 under extreme conditions including at Le Mans, and we’re really happy with how it has performed again and again. We are excited about using P1 moving forwards to help us gain any small advantage possible.”

Running in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, the Steller team has diverse challenges to meet with braking, due to the vast differences in dynamics between the LMP3 and GT3 cars that team run. With Halo P1, consistency and performance is the key and an attribute possible thanks to Halo P1’s exceptional performance across a wide range of temperatures thanks to its low compressibility, delivering a consistent pedal feel over an entire race distance.

Lloyd Ker of Halo by Orthene added, “We’re exceptionally pleased to join forces with Max and the team at Steller Motorsport. For us, working with a team like Steller is hugely beneficial for both parties. While we know we offer the best racing brake fluid on the market, partnerships like this mean we can learn and develop with each other, giving us access to invaluable data to improve our product and ultimately give Steller and other supported teams more performance. We very much look forward to a long and successful partnership with Steller Motorsport.”
