The GP2 Series |

2008 marked the first year of collaboration between GP2 and Hitco as the
official brake supplier to the series, supplying carbon brakes to all
thirteen teams. The conception of GP2 in 2004 to become the
definitive support and feeder series to Formula 1, has over the past few
years become reality with drivers such as Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg,
Nelson Piquet Jnr. and Timo Glock graduating from GP2 to
race in F1. This notion was further reinforced in the final race of the 2008 Formula One World Championship where Lewis Hamilton, the 2006 Series Champion was crowned Formula 1 World Champion and it is in this respect that Hitco is proud to bring leading brake technology to the forefront of GP2. |

Official Brake Supplier |

| 2009 will mark
the the second year of partnership between GP2 and Hitco as the official
brake supplier to the series and builds upon an excellent first season
that saw all thirteen teams racing with the latest generation of Hitco
carbon; a partnership that bought not only advantages in terms of brake
performance, but owing to very low wear rates allowed
for a significant per team reduction in brake usage over previous
seasons.
The distinct durability of Hitco carbon that allowed for such a reduction in brake usage is inline with one of the five founding principles of the series, that employs strict cost control to establish commercial viability for its teams and Hitco is proud to continue its relationship with the GP2 Series into 2009 and beyond. |
