By: Zircotec “Managing heat is a key factor for the reliability in endurance racing,” says JMW’s chief engineer Davey Nicholas. “With the car running for up to 24 hours, pretty much non-stop, not having to worry about thermal management is a big attraction of using Zircotec.” The benefits of using Zircotec’s technology also appeal to JMW’s driver line up of BTCC driver Sam Tordoff and sportscar specialist George Richardson. “Drivers don’t need the distraction and discomfort of high temperatures in the cockpit. We are always seeking ways to reduce the rate of fatigue,” says Richardson. “Keeping the cockpit cool also reduces the need for the aircon that saps power. Having Zircotec on the car delivers performance and reliability is just what we need in sports car racing. It’s a real advantage.” JMW Motorsports’ Zircotec www.zircotec.com offers a wide range of plasma sprayed ceramic and metallic coatings that protect components against the effects of heat, wear, abrasion and corrosion. Lightweight and easily packaged, Zircotec’s technologies can be applied to a broad range of different materials including metals and composites. Proven in F1 and the nuclear industry, the technology is now trusted by car manufacturers, industrial users, car enthusiasts and an increasing range of other applications to effectively manage heat and wear, enhancing performance and reliability.
