Race Technologies 3442 Racing Brake Pad
Race Technologies 3442 Brake Pad Fitment Guide
D58 Pad Shape for Brembo 6 Piston Calipers
The Race Technologies 3442 brake pad is a large-format performance pad shape designed for compatible high-capacity braking systems used in HPDE, track days, club racing, and motorsport. Measuring 189.7 mm wide by 87.4 mm high with a 57.5 mm friction material depth, the 3442 combines a broad backing plate with a distinctive curved friction surface for demanding braking applications.
Competition Motorsport offers the Race Technologies 3442 brake pad in RE10 racing and TS20 street/track compounds, allowing drivers to choose the friction characteristics best suited to their vehicle, brake system, tire grip, and intended driving environment.
Race Technologies 3442 Brake Pad Specifications
- Pad Shape: 3442 /
P1002.18
- Overall Width: 189.7 mm
- Overall Height: 87.4 mm
- Friction Material Depth: 57.5 mm
- Available Compounds: RE10 and TS20
- Intended Use: HPDE, track days, club racing, and motorsport, depending on compound
The 3442 features a distinctive backing plate with two upper retaining openings, an offset central relief, and a curved lower friction surface. Its specific geometry and mounting features make accurate pad identification essential when replacing existing pads or selecting friction materials for performance brake calipers.
Always compare the 3442 technical drawing and dimensions with your existing brake pads or caliper specifications before ordering.
RE10 Racing Brake Compound
Race Technologies RE10 is an endurance-focused racing friction material developed for demanding track and competition environments. Designed to maintain consistent braking performance under sustained high temperatures, RE10 emphasizes predictable modulation, thermal stability, and low pad and rotor wear.
RE10 is well suited to advanced HPDE, sprint racing, club racing, and endurance competition where repeatable braking performance and durability are priorities. Its friction characteristics help drivers maintain confidence during repeated heavy braking and extended track sessions.
As a competition-focused compound, RE10 is intended primarily for track and racing applications. Increased brake noise and dust may occur during lower-temperature street operation.
TS20 Street and Track Brake Compound
Race Technologies TS20 is designed for performance vehicles that operate in both street and track environments. Offering responsive initial braking, predictable modulation, and more street-friendly noise and dust characteristics than a dedicated racing compound, TS20 provides a versatile choice for drivers seeking dependable braking performance across a broad range of operating conditions.
TS20 is particularly suitable for spirited street driving, HPDE events, and track days where strong braking response and everyday drivability are both important.
RE10 vs. TS20: Which Compound Should You Choose?
Choosing the correct Race Technologies 3442 compound depends on the vehicle's intended use and the demands placed on its braking system.
- RE10: Recommended for dedicated track cars, sprint racing, club racing, and endurance applications requiring sustained high-temperature capability, consistent friction, and competition-oriented durability.
- TS20: Recommended for performance street cars, HPDE, and dual-purpose street/track vehicles where responsive braking and more street-friendly characteristics are important.
Vehicle weight, tire grip, rotor configuration, brake cooling, operating temperatures, and driving style all influence compound selection. Contact Competition Motorsport for assistance choosing the appropriate compound for your application.

Race Technologies 3442 Brake Pad Fitment
The Race Technologies 3442 pad shape is intended for brake calipers requiring its specific backing plate dimensions, retaining features, and friction material geometry. Proper fitment depends on caliper design, vehicle brake configuration, and required pad thickness.
Before ordering, verify the 189.7 mm width, 87.4 mm height, 57.5 mm friction material depth, and mounting-hole locations against your existing brake pads or caliper manufacturer's specifications.
Vehicle make and model alone may not establish compatibility, particularly when optional brake packages or aftermarket performance calipers are installed.
