To improve braking comfort and performance, in addition to reinforcing the character of the bike, the factory calipers can be replaced with .484 calipers in billet racing aluminum. The brake discs can contribute to the overall look of the bike, starting with the Black 11' which, having a housing in different material, are also not as vulnerable to thermal mechanical stress. 38 seconds per lap At Silverstone Circuit the MotoGP riders use their brakes 10 times each lap for a total 38 seconds just slightly less than the 40 seconds of the Losail International Circuit. However, the layouts of the two tracks are very different, as are the climatic conditions. On 5 of the corners on the British track, the riders have to brake to reduce their speed to below 100 km/h (62 mph) to avoid coming off the tarmac. Even if it is not the hardest corner, corner 16 is significant since the MotoGPs reduce their speed by 205 km/h (127 mph) after braking for 5.7 seconds. 1.5 G of deceleration are also experienced by the riders on corners 1 and 11. If you sum up all of the force applied by a rider on the Brembo brake lever from the starting line to the checkered flag, it comes to over 0.85 metric tons. From 330 km/h (205 mph) to 120 km/h (74.5 mph) in 5.4 seconds Of the 10 braking sections at the Silverstone Circuit, two are classified as very demanding on the brakes, 5 are of medium difficulty, and the remaining three are light. Due to the higher top speed, the Stowe (corner 7) is the most challenging: the MotoGP bikes go from 330 km/h (205 mph) to 120 km/h (74.5 mph) in 5.4 seconds covering 292 meters (958 feet), thanks to a 6.4 kg (14 lb) load on the lever and 1.5 g deceleration. Brembo HTC 64T brake fluid pressure hits 13.6 bar. And what about the video games? Taking on corner 7 correctly on the Silverstone Circuit in the MotoGP video game is not like drinking a cup of tea, at least the first few times, but it can get easier. Once you have passed the bridge, go onto the left-hand side of the track and start to brake when the paint on the left-hand wall changes from red to white. Once the speed has dropped to 200 km/h (124.2 mph), lean into the corner and continue to brake moving down into 2nd gear. Take your time and do not reapply the throttle too early. •The circuit identity card with all the information on all the braking sections, in .pdf format: https://mediakit.brembo.com/index.php/circuits/motogp-2022 •The video of the hardest braking point of the GP, in mp4 format with also social format adapted (low and high resolution): https://we.tl/t-QVCTbH1Ur2 •The video can also be consulted at the YT link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MepzArW_8J0&feature=youtu.be •The comment of the British GP according to Brembo, in web format: https://www.brembo.com/en/company/news/motogp-great-britain-2022-brembo-brakes •The attached infographic relating to the range of different carbon disc options offered by Brembo to all MotoGP teams: by virtue of the severity index of each circuit for the braking system, each team opts for a type of disc present in the range that differs from other discs on the basis of diameter. In view of the British Grand Prix, the teams will opt for a choice between the 320 mm diameter disc and the 340 mm diameter disc, in SM or HM size.
