From May 8 to 10, 2026, the 2026 Xiaomi · CEC China Endurance Championship (Shanghai Season Opener R1) officially concluded at the Shanghai International Circuit. As the highest-level domestic venue endurance racing event, this CEC brought together 28 teams, nearly 50 race cars, and over 180 professional drivers competing in an intense 4-hour endurance battle. As the official brake brand partner of the event, MOTVE Maituo Brake supported multiple teams throughout the race, taking on the rigorous challenges of top-tier endurance racing with its hardcore braking performance.

A national-level endurance racing arena, verifying China's hardcore braking capability.

The CEC China Endurance Championship is known for its long race distance, high intensity, and fierce competition, serving as the ultimate testing ground for vehicle stability, brake fade resistance, and overall reliability. The Shanghai International Circuit spans 5.451 kilometers with 16 corners and features a 1.2-kilometer straight. With repeated high-speed heavy braking and frequent weight transfers, the track places extreme demands on the braking system.

In this event, multiple teams equipped their race cars with MOTVE Maituo Brake high-performance caliper kits (including racing-grade products such as the R68). Under extreme conditions of sustained high temperatures and high-frequency braking, the Maituo calipers demonstrated key advantages: linear and stable braking force, strong high-temperature fade resistance, and precise, controllable pedal feel. These capabilities helped drivers build confidence during heavy braking into corners, extreme overtaking maneuvers, and long-distance battles, ensuring safety and speed through every corner.

Among them, the GAC Trumpchi Empow R race car, equipped with MOTVE Maituo Brake R68 racing-grade calipers, led all the way in the National Cup 1600T class and ultimately secured the class championship, perfectly demonstrating the extreme reliability and braking performance of the Maituo R68 in high-intensity endurance racing.

At the paddock and trackside, the MOTVE Maituo Brake brand logo made a clear appearance, standing alongside top-tier race cars and professional teams, becoming a striking "Chinese Brake Red" at this CEC event. It also conveyed the brand philosophy of "Maituo Brake, Beyond Performance" directly to the industry and racing fans.

Racing-Driven R&D, Track Data Feeding Back to High-Performance Civilian Applications

As a Chinese high-performance brake brand deeply rooted in the braking field for many years, MOTVE Maituo Brake has always adhered to the R&D philosophy of "from the track to the street." Top endurance events like CEC serve not only as a showcase for the brand's capabilities but also as a "real-world testing lab" for continuous product technology iteration.

Through full-course real-world data collection at the Shanghai season opener, the Maituo team deeply captured core data including long-distance high-temperature braking, continuous heavy braking fade resistance, and adaptability to various track conditions. These insights are continuously used to optimize the material formulation, structural rigidity, and heat dissipation efficiency of racing-grade calipers. The team then applies this track technology downward, further enhancing the safety, stability, and durability of high-performance street brake products, allowing more vehicle owners to enjoy a professional racing-grade braking experience.
