Awesome in the number of laps this car has delivered on the track, we're also stoked this has been achieved using ENDLESS Brakes. Stats: That's 10,000kms (including Targa SI Tour) on one set of ENDLESS brake pads.
Not only does Mel lay down 12 laps of the circuit THREE TIMES PER WEEK, before this he completes the drive to Highlands (from Arrowtown) in the GTR, treks back to his business - The Cow Restaurant in Wanaka (via the Crown Range), before his trip back to Arrowtown.

Mel's GTR is a near standard road vehicle, with only an exhaust upgrade and Logiical 400mm front/rear disc upgrade. Carl at Logiical has fitted the GTR with ENDLESS brake compound and a Logiical brake cooling kit to handle the jandle, as well as the number of km's this car is ticking up on a weekly basis - at pace none-the-less.
Now that's a daily-driver!
