The cause was traced to brake line crimping, so for 2026 the lines were crimped and flared by the manufacturer of the tubes rather than in house.

Brakes & Pedals
Features
- 01
Outsourced brake lines
Lines crimped and flared by the tube manufacturer to remove the air and pressure losses of previous years.
- 02
Mechanical bias bar
Kept over electronic bias for simplicity, to tune for track, tyre and driver.
Changing for 2027

How it works
Bias is set mainly by the 4-piston front, 2-piston rear split, with a mechanical bias bar kept for tuning.
Ductile cast iron was kept for its thermal capacity and predictable wear: a lap simulation put the front rotors at 500 to 550 degrees C, well below where the iron starts to fade. The car locked its brakes at the New Hampshire competition.
