CSG Spec friction materials supplied for sprint races are developed to provide excellent overall braking performance (initial response or "bite") while maintaining pedal stroke stability, smooth brake release and fade resistance lap after lap.
Since sprint race distances are generally on the shorter side (1-4 hour races), the main emphasis is fade resistance with reasonable pad and disc wear rates.
Key development points also include ensuring that these friction materials are compatible with a wide range of tires (sport tires to racing slicks) and ABS or Traction Control ("TC") systems found on OE and motorsport applications. A complete range of medium to higher friction materials ensures that the exact compounds can be selected depending on the specific customer, tire ranges, driver skill and platform balance needs.
