This unique structure delivers higher fatigue strength than typical race bearings while offering excellent conformability. It should not be confused with other tri metal designs that are sintered and use lead or tin overlays, which can have lower fatigue strength. This exact material is in service across major global race series including Formula 1, Le Mans, NASCAR, MotoGP, WRC and DTM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003ePerformance you can trust\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe optimal 55 micron nominal clearance, coupled with MAHLE Motorsport’s advanced modelling of oil film thickness and bearing load, provides a dependable solution for fast road and track-driven BMWs.
