Trusted by professional racers and performance enthusiasts worldwide, these pads are crafted using advanced friction materials and cutting-edge technology to ensure consistent performance, low fade, and excellent modulation. Whether you're on the track or tackling aggressive street driving, Pagid Racing Brake Pads provide the reliability and confidence you need to push your vehicle to its limits.

Premium Suede Construction
The SP v3 upper is constructed from premium suede selected for its balance of flexibility, durability, and comfort. Its soft construction allows the shoe to conform closely to the foot while maintaining the support required for accurate pedal operation.
Anatomically Profiled Fit
Alpinestars uses an anatomically shaped design to create a close, responsive fit around the foot. This streamlined profile helps reduce unnecessary movement inside the shoe and makes it easier to operate closely spaced racing pedals.
Improved Ventilation
Perforated suede on the tongue promotes airflow through the shoe. The breathable construction helps manage heat and moisture during long driving sessions without adding bulky ventilation materials.
Heat-Resistant Para-Aramidic Lining
A para-aramidic fiber tubular lining provides excellent heat resistance, structural strength, and lightweight protection. The lining surrounds the foot while maintaining the flexibility needed for smooth and precise pedal inputs.
Lightweight Heel and Insole Padding
Microporous padding around the heel and insole improves comfort while keeping weight to a minimum. This cushioning helps reduce pressure and fatigue during extended periods behind the wheel.
Reinforced Heel Support
A compressed leather heel counter reinforces the rear of the shoe for improved protection and lateral stability. This supportive construction helps keep the heel properly positioned during hard braking and quick pedal transitions.
Supportive Underfoot Construction
A polypropylene lasting board works with leather reinforcement to provide underfoot support and comfort. The structure helps distribute pressure while preserving the sensitivity required from a professional racing shoe.
Responsive Alpinestars Racing Sole
The exclusive Alpinestars racing outsole uses a lightweight rubber compound with a textured grip pattern. Its low-profile construction provides dependable pedal traction and direct feedback through the brake, throttle, and clutch pedals.

OMP First Racing Gloves | FIA 8856-2018
from $173.00
OMP First Racing Gloves
The OMP First Racing Gloves combine lightweight construction, precise steering feedback, and premium comfort at an accessible price. Designed with features commonly found on higher-priced competition gloves, the OMP First uses external seams, a pre-curved hand shape, and low-profile silicone-rubber palm grip to improve control while reducing driver fatigue.
An elasticated wrist keeps the glove securely positioned without adding a bulky closure, while the straight-cut extended gauntlet provides clean overlap with a compatible racing suit sleeve. FIA 8856-2018 homologation makes the OMP First suitable for modern motorsport competition where current FIA-approved driver gloves are required.
Premium Racing-Glove Features at an Accessible Price
The OMP First is designed for drivers who want comfort and performance without stepping into the highest-priced glove category. Its construction focuses on the features that have the greatest effect behind the wheel: smooth internal comfort, secure steering-wheel grip, natural hand movement, and certified fire-resistant protection.
The result is a dependable racing glove that feels refined without becoming overly complicated or bulky.
External Seams for Maximum Comfort
The finger seams are positioned on the outside of the glove rather than against the driver’s skin. This creates a smoother internal surface and reduces pressure points when the fingers are wrapped around the steering wheel.
External stitching is often reserved for premium racing gloves because it can significantly improve comfort during long races, testing sessions, and repeated track use.
Pre-Curved Driving Fit
The OMP First is shaped around the natural position of the hand while gripping a steering wheel. Pre-curved fingers require less effort to close and help prevent excess material from bunching across the palm.
This design supports a more relaxed grip, helping reduce hand fatigue while maintaining precise control of paddle shifters, switches, buttons, and gear levers.
Printed Silicone-Rubber Palm Grip
Fire-retardant silicone-rubber inserts are printed directly onto the palm to provide dependable steering-wheel traction with minimal added thickness. The low-profile grip pattern helps maintain sensitivity and allows the driver to feel steering resistance, vibration, and changes in front-end grip.
Because the silicone is printed directly onto the glove, it improves control without creating the bulk of a separate palm reinforcement layer.
Secure Grip with Minimal Material Bunching
The grip zones are positioned to support the primary contact areas between the hand and steering wheel. This placement improves traction while allowing the glove to flex naturally through braking, cornering, and rapid steering corrections.
The combination of a pre-curved shape and thin printed grip helps the glove remain stable without restricting movement.
Straight-Cut Extended Gauntlet
The straight-cut gauntlet gives the OMP First a clean, traditional appearance while providing additional wrist coverage. Its extended length helps maintain proper overlap with the sleeve of a compatible fire-resistant racing suit.
The longer cuff is designed in accordance with current FIA homologation requirements for improved protection against heat and flame exposure.
Elasticated Wrist for Easy Entry
An elastic band around the wrist keeps the glove securely fitted without requiring a hook-and-loop strap. The flexible opening makes the OMP First easy to put on and remove between sessions while helping prevent unwanted movement during aggressive steering inputs.
The strapless design also eliminates a bulky adjustment point beneath the racing suit cuff.
FIA 8856-2018 Homologated Protection
The OMP First Racing Gloves are certified to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. The fire-resistant construction and extended cuff provide current protection for the hands and wrists in demanding motorsport environments.
Drivers should verify the exact glove certification required by their sanctioning body before competition.

Ferodo DS3000 Brake Compound Details
The predecessor to DS1.11, DS3000 offers high initial bite with excellent feel and release. Popular among rally teams, DS3000 has a relatively low cold temperature threshold while still offering high temp stability for tarmac. DS3000 is very easy on discs at the expense of pad wear.
Ferodo FCP0840 Comparison Chart
Out of all the pad compounds we've ever tested, from all manufacturers, the Ferodo DS3.12 shows the flattest torque curve across the broadest temperature range. That means on every turn, on every track you drive, on every lap, your brake pedal is going to feel almost exactly the same, providing tremendous consistency and repeatability. The DS3.12 has a higher mu (µ) than Ferodo's other compounds, so not as much pedal pressure is required to initiate the desired response. It is also un-fadable, showing no drop in performance at any temperature your brakes will ever see.
Ferodo FCP0840 Coefficient of Friction (Mu) Comparison Chart
In dyno testing, the Ferodo DS3.12 has shown superior wear rates to the other Ferodo compounds, while remaining kind to brake rotors. We believe the Ferodo DS3.12 will become the gold standard by which other race compounds will be judged.

Sparco Race 2 Racing Shoe
$216.00
Sparco Race 2 Racing Shoes
The Sparco Race 2 Racing Shoes deliver the comfort, support, and pedal control needed for competitive racing, autocross, HPDE events, and track-day driving. Developed exclusively for the U.S. market, the Race 2 is an evolution of Sparco’s popular Race shoe with an updated fit, improved sole, and aggressive all-suede design.
A wider toe box provides additional room across the front of the foot, while the Comfort Achilles panel allows the ankle to move naturally during braking, shifting, and throttle operation. The cushioned sole helps reduce shock and vibration without sacrificing the pedal feedback required for accurate driving inputs.
The high-top suede construction provides comfortable ankle coverage, and the wide hook-and-loop strap helps secure the shoe during demanding driving conditions. Available in black, blue, and red, the Sparco Race 2 combines classic racing-shoe styling with SFI-approved protection.
Wide Toe Box for Improved Comfort
The Sparco Race 2 features a wider toe box than many traditional narrow-profile racing shoes. The additional room allows the toes to rest more naturally while reducing pressure during long driving sessions.
This design makes the Race 2 a strong option for drivers who prefer a roomier fit without giving up the secure feel needed for precise pedal operation.
Comfort Achilles Panel
A flexible Comfort Achilles panel at the rear of the shoe allows the ankle to move naturally as the driver operates the pedals. This helps reduce restriction during hard braking, heel-and-toe downshifts, and rapid transitions between the brake, throttle, and clutch.
Updated Racing Sole
The redesigned outsole improves pedal feel while helping absorb shock and vibration transmitted through the floor and pedal box. Its low-profile construction keeps the driver connected to the controls while providing more cushioning than an ultra-thin professional racing sole.
Extra-Cushioned Interior
Additional cushioning inside the shoe helps reduce foot fatigue during long track sessions and endurance events. The supportive construction provides a comfortable platform without creating excessive bulk around the pedals.
All-Suede Upper
The Race 2 uses a soft suede outer shell for flexibility, comfort, and classic motorsport styling. Reinforced stitching helps the upper maintain its shape and durability through repeated racing and track use.
Secure Hook-and-Loop Closure
A wide hook-and-loop ankle strap works with the traditional lace closure to provide a secure and adjustable fit. The strap helps stabilize the upper foot and keeps the laces contained while driving.

PBcLc Shell Construction and Advanced Impact Protection
The Arai GP-7 uses Arai's proprietary PBcLc (Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate) shell construction, developed to provide excellent shell strength while maintaining the flexibility required for effective energy management.
The shell incorporates Arai's Peripherally Belted design philosophy, which emphasizes shell integrity around the critical eyeport area.
This advanced construction works together with the helmet's multi-density EPS liner to help manage impact energy during demanding racing conditions.
The GP-7 shares its fundamental shell shape with the GP-7SRC racing helmet platform, bringing technology developed through professional motorsport into a more accessible racing helmet.
Snell SA2020 and FIA 8859-2015 Racing Certifications
The Arai GP-7 is certified to Snell SA2020 and FIA 8859-2015, providing established motorsport helmet safety certification for qualifying racing applications.
These standards include testing requirements for automotive racing helmet impact performance and related protective characteristics.
The FIA 8859-2015 homologation label is applied to the helmet's interior liner.
Important: Racing organizations establish their own helmet certification acceptance rules. Because this is an earlier-generation SA2020 helmet, confirm that your specific racing organization continues to accept its certification before competition.
Expanded Eyeport for Improved Peripheral Vision
The Arai GP-7 features an enlarged eyeport designed to improve driver visibility compared with previous Arai racing helmet generations.
The wider opening supports improved peripheral awareness, allowing drivers to more easily monitor mirrors, nearby competitors, cockpit instruments, and corner workers.
The GP-7's eyeport geometry, shield design, and pivot hardware were developed using technology derived from Arai's professional racing helmet platforms.
Improved visibility is particularly valuable in GT racing, road racing, endurance competition, and other applications where driver awareness is essential.
Positive Shield Latch for Secure Visor Operation
The Arai GP-7 uses a positive shield latching mechanism designed to provide secure closure while maintaining convenient operation.
The latch is integrated into the shield system rather than added as a separate external component.
This design helps provide reliable visor retention while allowing normal shield opening and closing.
Drivers can operate the shield during preparation, pit stops, and racing activities according to Arai's operating instructions.
Updated Shield Pivot Hardware and Aerodynamic Design
The GP-7 incorporates updated shield pivot hardware with a redesigned one-piece track slider and low-profile mounting components.
The hardware uses a T20 Torx adjustment system that allows the shield pivot arrangement to sit lower on the helmet shell.
This design supports Arai's philosophy of creating smooth, rounded helmet surfaces intended to encourage impact forces to glance away from the shell.
The revised system also maintains the helmet's enlarged eyeport and convenient shield operation.
Advanced GP-7 Ventilation System
Arai developed the GP-7 ventilation system to improve airflow and comfort during demanding motorsport competition.
The helmet includes three larger, closeable intake vents with enlarged air passages designed to direct cooling airflow into the helmet.
Four enlarged exhaust cowls work with the intake system to help remove warm air from the interior.
A redesigned rear exhaust arrangement improves airflow management while supporting aerodynamic efficiency.
This ventilation system is especially beneficial during warm-weather track days, extended endurance sessions, and high-temperature racing conditions.
Facial Contour System Cheek Pads for a Secure Fit
The Arai GP-7 features sculpted Facial Contour System (FCS) cheek pads designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit around the driver's lower jaw.
The cheek pad shape helps stabilize the helmet while reducing unwanted movement during high-speed driving.
Its design also helps reduce wind and cockpit noise entering through the lower helmet opening.
Compatible replacement cheek pads are available in different thicknesses, allowing drivers to refine the fit without replacing the entire helmet.
This adjustable fit system is especially useful for drivers who need additional cheek support or prefer a more personalized interior configuration.
Intermediate Oval Helmet Fit
The Arai GP-7 is designed around an intermediate oval head shape, a common fit profile among automotive racing helmets.
A properly fitted helmet should provide consistent contact around the head without excessive pressure points or unwanted movement.
To select the appropriate size, measure the circumference of your head approximately one inch above your eyebrows and around the widest part at the back of your head.
Repeat the measurement several times and use Arai's official sizing recommendations when selecting your helmet.
Because every driver's head shape is different, a professional helmet fitting is recommended whenever possible.
Factory-Installed M6 HANS and FHR Mounting Provisions
The Arai GP-7 includes factory-installed M6 threaded inserts designed for compatible frontal head restraint mounting hardware.
These mounting provisions allow drivers to install approved HANS/FHR anchor posts without modifying the protective helmet shell.
The helmet features a flattened mounting surface around each threaded insert, allowing compatible anchor bases to rest flush against the shell.
Important: The M6 threaded inserts are factory installed. HANS/FHR anchor posts are separate components unless specifically included in the purchased configuration.
Always follow the anchor manufacturer's installation instructions and the requirements of your sanctioning organization.
Eject System Ready Crown Pad
The Arai GP-7 is designed to accommodate an optional helmet Eject system.
A pre-cut pocket beneath the crown pad allows installation of compatible Eject equipment.
The optional system is intended to assist trained safety personnel with controlled helmet removal following a racing incident.
Note: The Eject system is an optional accessory and is not included with the standard GP-7 helmet.
Integrated Hydration System Compatibility
The GP-7 features a removable center chin liner designed to simplify installation of compatible driver hydration equipment.
The chin liner provides four available drink tube routing locations, allowing racers to select a configuration suited to their cockpit layout and equipment.
Hydration compatibility is particularly valuable for endurance racing and extended track sessions in hot environments.
Compatible drink tubes, valves, and hydration equipment are sold separately.
