24H Endurance Motorsport Report WM.18Racing · #377 Porsche 718 RF RACER Full Racing Brake System

24 Hours of Day-and-Night Attrition: RF RACER Racing Brake System Safeguards WM.18Racing #377 Porsche 718 to the Checkered Flag at Zhengzhou 24H

From October 30 to November 1, 2026, China's inaugural 24-hour endurance race took place at Zhengzhou International Autodrome (ZIA). Governed by the grueling rule where drivers rotate while the machine runs non-stop around the clock, the race pushed human stamina, pit-wall coordination, and brake system durability to their limits. Fielding the #377 Porsche 718 in the TC3 class, WM.18Racing deployed a nine-member squad: team principal and driver Wang Meng, alongside drivers Kong Yunpeng (Killer Open Class), Fan Shen, Qi Fei, Xie Yuchen, Li Shen, and female racer Sweet Piggy (Zhu Zhiying), supported on the pit wall by Team Manager Zhao Yanxiao and Data Engineer Ding Zhiyuan. Serving as the team's Official Braking Partner, RF RACER (REDEFINE) equipped the #377 machine with a full racing brake system—combating thermal fade across thousands of heavy braking zones to secure consistent corner-entry stability all the way to the 24-hour finish line.

STAGE 01 / RELAY & WHEEL-TO-WHEEL BATTLES

7-Driver Rotation + Heavy Braking

Wang Meng, Kong Yunpeng, Fan Shen, Qi Fei, Xie Yuchen, Li Shen, and Zhu Zhiying rotate behind the wheel as Car #377 battles pack traffic through relentless sprints and late-braking duels.

STAGE 02 / RAPID RESPONSE & WET NIGHT

15:46:16 Rain + Pit-Box Maintenance

Across an unpredictable 24 hours—including a midnight downpour at 15:46:16—the crew stays on high alert with stopwatch-timed refueling, rapid wheel inspections, and hydraulic brake bleeding.

STAGE 03 / FINISHER VICTORY & DATA LOGGING

Checkered Flag + Engineering Archive

While mechanical setbacks prevented a top podium placement, surviving the full 24 hours is a triumph in itself. RF RACER captures full-cycle telemetry to refine high-performance brake engineering.

All Hands on Deck: Relentless Sprints, Late Braking, and Wheel-to-Wheel Combat

Unlike a 15-lap sprint race decided in half an hour, China's first 24-hour endurance race is an unforgiving test of mechanical and human resilience. WM.18Racing mobilized a complete nine-person operation: team owner and driver Wang Meng led from the front alongside Kong Yunpeng (Killer Open Class), Fan Shen, Qi Fei, Xie Yuchen, Li Shen, and female driver Sweet Piggy (Zhu Zhiying) sharing cockpit duties in the #377 Porsche 718. Behind the scenes, Team Manager Zhao Yanxiao and Data Engineer Ding Zhiyuan monitored lap-time deltas, fuel windows, and mechanical health throughout the day and night.

Back on circuit, the #377 Porsche 718 was locked in continuous multi-class traffic battles. Across Zhengzhou International Autodrome's tight 11-turn layout, the car cycled relentlessly through full-throttle straights, threshold braking zones, and apex battles. Despite the differing pedal pressure habits of seven individual drivers, the RF RACER racing brake system delivered linear, predictable deceleration lap after lap.

Overcoming Unforeseen Challenges: 24 Hours of Pit-Crew Vigilance

No 24-hour endurance race unfolds without drama. From a sudden autumn downpour on the first night (at 15:46:16 on the countdown clock) to unexpected mechanical incidents born from hours of close-quarters racing, the entire WM.18Racing and RF RACER technical crew remained on razor-sharp alert—tackling every contingency with disciplined execution:

[HYDRAULIC BRAKE BLEEDING] With the forged front wheel removed in the garage, a technician bleeds the front caliper line to purge any micro-bubbles induced by extreme heat, keeping the pedal rock-solid.	[RAPID WHEEL-END SERVICE] Armed with high-torque impact wrenches, mechanics swarm Car #377 in the pit lane to perform rapid wheel-end inspections and hardware checks.
[STOPWATCH-TIMED REFUELING] Clad in full fireproof gear and a carbon helmet, the refueler keeps a close eye on his watch to comply with mandatory minimum pit-stop regulations to the second.	[15:46:16 WET NIGHT TRIAL] Midnight rain coats the circuit in standing water, subjecting glowing brake discs to severe thermal shock from cold water spray.

While time lost addressing mid-race contingencies kept the #377 squad from claiming a top leaderboard trophy, crossing the finish line of China's inaugural 24-hour endurance race is a massive victory in its own right. Every member of the team pushed through physical and mental exhaustion, and the #377 Porsche 718 endured 24 hours of punishing operating conditions to complete the full distance—a testament to grit and perseverance.

ENGINEERING TELEMETRY & HARDWARE VERIFICATION

Full Racing Brake System Protection: Combating Thermal Fade Across Every Corner

Backed by automotive component manufacturing expertise dating back to 1999 and extensive motorsport engineering experience, RF RACER (REDEFINE) supported WM.18Racing with a complete racing brake system engineered around three core pillars:

[01] CALIPER BRIDGE RIGIDITY

Zero Flex Under Heavy Braking

Machined from high-strength forged aluminum alloy with reinforced bridge geometry, RF RACER racing calipers resist structural deflection under sustained high hydraulic pressures and elevated temperatures—delivering uniform clamping force across the pads during late-braking duels.

[02] THERMAL FADE RESISTANCE

Optimized Airflow & Heat Barriers

To counter Zhengzhou's short cooling straights, directional internal rotor vanes and thermal-barrier piston designs rapidly evacuate friction heat and block conductive heat transfer into the brake fluid, preventing vapor lock and spongy pedal feel over long stints.

[03] MULTI-DRIVER CONSISTENCY

Predictable Modulation for 7 Drivers

With seven drivers rotating through the seat across dry, night, and wet conditions, a flat friction-temperature curve and crisp piston rollback ensure that every driver experiences the exact same brake-pedal bite point from the first lap to the final hour.

The 24-Hour Proving Ground: Translating Extreme Track Telemetry into Production Reliability

With 1 hour and 16 minutes remaining on the clock (01:16:07), the #377 Porsche 718 roared out of Garage 01 with its yellow headlamps shining to complete the final stint. For RF RACER, the 24-hour endurance arena serves as the ultimate proving ground to harvest real-world telemetry and refine high-performance braking systems:

Table: 2026 Zhengzhou 24H Endurance Telemetry & RF RACER Production Engineering Translation

Telemetry Dimension	24H Endurance Track Challenge	Production & Aftermarket Upgrade Value
Thermal Shock & Crack Resistance	High-temperature daytime braking followed by midnight rain spray on glowing discs.	Refines high-carbon and carbon-ceramic disc metallurgy and stress-relief slotting to prevent judder and thermal cracking.
High-Cycle Piston Seal Durability	Thousands of high-pressure hydraulic cycles combined with kerb shock and brake dust accumulation.	Validates high-temperature seal longevity and piston rollback precision, eliminating pad drag and uneven wear in street/track kits.
Multi-Driver Pedal Linearity	Seven drivers with distinct braking styles sharing one car across dry and wet track surfaces.	Optimizes piston area ratios and friction compound pairing for smooth daily drivability and decisive stopping power.
