Big win in a challenge that serves to test parts in a real environment.
Alfa e-Parts, Metalcaucho, and Mapco, all BBB Industries brands, recently collaborated with a team that won the endurance car race held on April 6th and 7th. It was a big win, finishing first in the final classification, using parts from these brands. BBB Industries, LLC is a leading sustainable manufacturer serving the automotive and industrial markets.
Alfa e-Parts is a new brand of electrical and electronic parts; Metalcaucho is a leading European supplier of aftermarket rubber and metal parts; and Mapco is a German distributor with high quality standards and more than 100 product families.
This 24-hour race, which took place at the Andalucia Circuit (AlmerÃa, Spain), was organized by Amazing Drives. The company offers motoring events and experiences for enthusiasts in a safe environment, such as a permanent speed circuit, with standard vehicles that have few modifications. The goal is to be a gateway to motor racing and enjoy the experience.
It was an ideal event to test the endurance of Alfa e-Parts, Metalcaucho, and Mapco spare parts in a real environment. This type of 24-hour race, in which they already participated last year at the Castellolà Circuit (Barcelona), not only serves as a reliable test bench for parts but also promotes teamwork and fellowship.
The car, a *BMW 318ti Compact, was fitted with parts from all three brands. Metalcaucho parts included boots, steering gears, engine mounts, hoses, wheel hubs, silentblocks, and link bars. Alfa e-Parts included sensors, switches, thermostats, and a coolant flange. Mapco’s suspension arms, one of the German brand’s most recognized products, were also included. All the parts passed the test without showing signs of fatigue*, demonstrating the superior quality of BBB Industries' brand spare parts.
The team of drivers was formed by *LluÃs Vial, Armando Asauca, and Xavier Bosch, taking turns at the wheel during the 24 hours of the race. The mechanical team was led by Juan Mármol, a prominent mechanic with extensive experience in high competition and a member of Metalcaucho’s Quality Department. He was assisted by several other mechanics, Jaume Caslas, Albert Casabona, Antonio Canela, and David Cobos*, the latter also a member of the BBB Industries staff.
