The Nürburgring Cooling Upgrade That Makes a Real Difference
The Nürburgring Nordschleife is unforgiving. With its mix of high-speed sections, sudden elevation changes, and brutal braking zones, it tests every part of your car. Even the capable BMW M2 can start to feel the strain after a few laps – and the brakes are often the first to complain. Brake fade at the 'Ring isn’t just frustrating, it can completely change how you drive the car.
That’s why BMW Motorsport developed the M2 CS Racing Brake Ducts – a genuine, race-proven solution designed specifically to manage brake temperatures in the most demanding conditions. Now available at Nineteen72 Performance, these ducts aren’t style pieces or replicas; they are exactly what BMW fitted to the M2 CS Racing in its customer racing programme.
Proven on Track, Perfect for Your Next Trip
These ducts do one thing, and they do it very well – get cool air to your front brakes. By channelling fresh airflow directly onto your discs and pads, they help lower operating temperatures, reduce fade, and keep pedal feel consistent lap after lap. Whether you’re braking hard into Aremberg, slowing down after a flat-out Döttinger Höhe run, or pushing through a full 20-minute track session in the UK, that extra cooling can be the difference between attacking and holding back.
Adding the Pinnacle Motorsport Brake Duct Kit
While the BMW Motorsport ducts are incredibly effective, pairing them with the Pinnacle Motorsport Brake Duct Kit (without lower scoops) takes the system to another level. This kit works alongside the CS Racing ducts to improve airflow without adding unnecessary drag – ideal for high-speed circuits where every bit of top-end speed counts.
Pinnacle’s version is built for serious track use, with lightweight, durable construction that can handle the punishment of repeated hard laps. Skipping the lower scoops keeps the design cleaner and reduces drag, making it a great choice for Nürburgring drivers who want maximum efficiency without compromise.
Genuine Motorsport Engineering You Can Trust
The BMW Motorsport M2 CS Racing Brake Ducts are constructed from heat-resistant, motorsport-grade materials and shaped for optimum airflow. They were never designed as a cosmetic upgrade – these are purely functional, track-focused parts. The Pinnacle Motorsport kit shares that same philosophy, offering a solution that’s purpose-built for performance rather than looks.
When combined, you’re getting a brake cooling setup that’s been inspired by endurance racing and refined for track day use.
Is This Upgrade for You?
If you’re heading to the Nürburgring, the answer is almost certainly yes. The long braking zones, repeated hard stops, and heat build-up on that circuit will test even brand-new brakes. But it’s not just the 'Ring – UK tracks like Silverstone, Donington, and Snetterton can be just as demanding on brakes, especially during summer events or long stints.
These ducts are a smart move if you:
-
Regularly do track days.
-
Experience brake fade on fast laps.
-
Run high-friction pads or a big brake kit.
-
Want consistent braking from start to finish.
