The firm once again acted as headline sponsor of this modified car event

The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Racing teams thoroughly enjoyed another instalment of the Gravity indoor car show recently, set at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre.

Acting as a headline sponsor for the second year running, the braking firm once again hosted a significant trade stand in the heart of the event, jam-packed full of components, merch and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½-shod vehicles.

Below is an overview of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€™ presence at this two-day extravaganza…

ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Booth – The Cars

An eclectic mix of four-wheeled vehicles was once again present, to reflect the wide range of automotive braking components that ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ offers.

Drifting was represented in the form of Hayden Renton’s E36 BMW 3-Series Compact – complete with a 6-Piston Apollo Big Brake Kit, Bluestuff pads and GD rear discs. Renton competes in Drift League GB with this fiery machine.

James Burnell’s striking Wrigley’s-liveried Mk1 VW Golf showcased the classic car components ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ offers, rocking popular Yellowstuff pads and USR discs all-round.

From road to track, Jessica Fitch-Hall’s Ford Fiesta ST150 race car was equipped with plain D-series discs, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Racing’s RP-X front brake pads and Bluestuff B rear pads.

Modern, capable road weapons were reflected in John Brotherton’s F82 BMW M4 Competition – sporting ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Racing’s two-piece fully-floating discs all-round, as well as Bluestuff pads – an extremely capable upgrade for this platform.

ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Booth – The Bikes

To showcase the celebrated braking products ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ offers for motorcycles, two superbikes from popular content creator, , were on-stand.

Both finished in striking lime green, Shark Boi’s BMW S1000RR and Aprilia RS660 Extrema both feature EPFA pads and XC-series floating discs.

Around the Show

It was fantastic to once again see so many ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½-equipped vehicles across the entire venue during the weekend.

Notably, Gravity’s very own builds were often found to be sporting ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ components.

There was also the neighbouring Apex Kollectiv stand, which featured a striking VW golf complete with a 6-Piston Apollo Big Brake Kit.

In the drift paddock, Steve Fraser’s duo of stunning 2JZ-powered Nissan S13s were also rocking 6-Piston Apollo Big Brake Kits – frequently hitting the tarmac to perform drifting displays to the crowds.

Another highlight was seeing Andy Howard’s ‘Drift Across the World’ BMW in the flesh – a vehicle that’s spent the best part of 2026 navigating from Australia back to the UK. Howard popped back to the UK to showcase the car at Gravity before finishing off the European section of his epic voyage. He’s running Bluestuff pads, USR discs and braided brake lines – a strong and reliable setup that helps him navigate the hugely varying and demanding terrain that he comes across.

A huge thank-you to everyone who visited the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ stand across the weekend.

You can next catch us at the epic SEMA show (3-6 November, Las Vegas Convention Centre) and the EICMA motorcycle expo (5-8 November, Milan Rho-Fiera).

The UK team enjoyed a weekend at Birmingham’s NEC for this spectacular indoor event

The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ UK team recently spent two days at Birmingham’s NEC exhibition centre for the 2024 instalment of the highly anticipated Gravity Show.

This modified car event has been growing year-on-year for the past decade, now taking the form of a huge indoor show that attracts thousands of automotive enthusiasts during its two days of running.

2024 marked the first year that ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ hosted a trade stand at Gravity Show, and it certainly started things off with a bang, taking the form of a five-car display with an eclectic mix of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½-equipped vehicles present.

There were also an impressive number of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½-clad machines around the rest of the vast show, reflecting the firm’s prominence within the aftermarket car industry – especially with its ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Racing line of upgraded components.

Below is a summary of some of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½-equipped highlights we spotted around the event…

Leighton Vans – T6.1 VW Transporter (ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Stand)

This factory-fresh Kombi boasted our Leighton Vans x ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Racing big brake kit, comprising Leighton-branded 6-piston Apollo calipers, two-piece fully floating discs and Yellowstuff pads.

Auto Finesse – Toyota GR Yaris (ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Stand)

This striking build features ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Racing’s RP-Xâ„¢ track/race brake pads and grooved discs all-round.

Milltek Sport – G81 BMW M3 Touring (ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Stand)

Another car show favourite, Milltek’s high-performance wagon sports ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Racing two-piece fully-floating discs (front and rear), as well as Bluestuff pads.

Alex Tucked – Toyota GR Supra (ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Stand)

Under the sumptuous Vossen wheels of this bright yellow Supra lies a 6-piston ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Racing Apollo big brake kit, complete with Bluestuff pads all-round.

Petrolheadonism – Lamborghini Murcielago (ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Stand)

This exotic Italian supercar features ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Racing’s two-piece fully floating discs (front and rear), as well as Bluestuff brake pads.

SW Motorsport – Toyota GR Yaris (SW Motorsport Stand)

ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ has a close relationship with SW Motorsport, who supplies Apollo big brake kits to the TTCR race championship. This unique Yaris – which was built live the previous weekend at the Ultimate Street Car show – boasts two-piece floating discs and Yellowstuff pads.

SW Motorsport – TTCR Race Car (Direnza Stand)

This SW Motorsport-supported TTCR race car boasts a hard anodised version of our Apollo big brake kit – slightly more track/race focused than the road version of this kit.

R44 Performance – G80 BMW M3

Another immaculately executed car from R44 Performance, this super saloon is rocking two-piece fully floating discs on the front, and Bluestuff pads all-round.

Subaru WRX STI (Hybrid Performance Stand)

Proudly on display on this Subaru is a 6-piston Apollo big brake kit with Bluestuff pads, as well as Yellowstuff pads on the rear axle.

Slammed UK – Various Cars (Gravity Stand)

Although our first time exhibiting at a Gravity Show, we have been working closely with the organisers, Slammed UK, for many years. Many cars on their official stand feature ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Racing components, including the wide-body Mk7 VW Golf and Audi R8.

Ramair – G87 BMW M2 (Ramair Stand)

This new M2 project car from Ramair sports two-piece fully-floating discs on both its front and rear axles.
