The secret is in the pads


Scott Pruett- Braking Tips

The Thrill of Racing

97 compound
This compound has been a favorite of sportscar endurance racing although it's initial development was through CART Champ Cars. 97 compounds have won races in CART, ALMS, Grand Am, and ASA. It is also a preferred pad for touring car and rally. Higher bite than 90 compound with slightly higher torque. Great modulation, very flat torque curve with enhanced release characteristics. 97 compounds are very easy on the discs, with very low wear. This compound is becoming a favorite of driving schools because it shares similar characteristics as 90 compounds but even less wear. Highly recommended as a general-purpose pad for all venues. (When out, refer to 01)

   97 Recommended Applications:
   Recommended for applications that demand excellent wear and modulation.

01 compound
01 is one of the most popular race compounds in the PFC's arsenal. Slightly higher bite and torque for the first 2/3's of the stop than 83 compound. At the end of the stop, 01 compound has less torque scatter for improved modulation with excellent release and a flat torque curve. 01 compound is very easy on the discs with very low wear, on par with 83 compounds.

   01 Recommended Applications:
   01 is recommended as an all-purpose pad in a wide variety of applications.

06 Compound
06 compound pads are very similar to PFC 01 for both bite and torque, within 4% of those values. Excellent release and control with very low wear. Very low abraded disc wear with a “powdery type” transfer layer. 06 pads are an excellent alternative to other brands of endurance compounds but with much higher performance. Excellent for club racing type shapes as well in OE brake calipers where ABS is used.

   06 Recommended Applications:
   Endurance Sportscar and GT
   NASCAR Short Track and Road Course Rear
   NASCAR Speedway and Intermediate Rear
   All Oval Track Race series Rear
   SCCA Racing

08 compound
08 compound is one of PFC newest and have gained immediate favor in Endurance Sportscar, and GT racing due to its performance in applications where smooth initial bite is a must. 08 have a slight friction rise with temperature, excellent release and modulation characteristics, and very low abraded disc wear. In addition to its considerable performance, 08 wears the longest of all PFC pads and easily matches wear of the other competitors with much higher bite.

   08 Recommended Applications:
   24-hour Endurance Racing
   Endurance Sportscar and GT
   NASCAR Short Track and Road Course Rear
   NASCAR Speedway and Intermediate Rear
