Our GP30 compound is an all-around endurance race pad. The GP30 is designed to work with street car ABS as well as motorsport-grade ABS found in factory-built race cars. These pads work with a wide range of tires, from DOT street tires to R-compounds to full race slicks.

GiroDisc GP35 Compound - A race pad for all occasions

Our GP35 compound combines the best of both worlds into one all-around race pad. We took some of the longevity of our endurance pads, some of the bite of our sprint pads, and worked to develop a compound that can do it all. As a bonus, it’s easy to bed, which means less time figuring your brakes out, and more time driving on the track.

The GP35 is designed to work with street car ABS as well as motorsport-grade ABS found in factory-built race cars. The torque curve is designed to be smooth and linear, which leads to superior modulation and release under trail braking. These pads work with a wide range of tires, from DOT street tires to R-compounds to full race slicks.

It has become our most popular compound and is the compound we recommend most frequently to track day drivers and shops running cars in professional racing series.
