Pagid Racing Brake Pads are engineered for high-performance driving, delivering exceptional stopping power, durability, and control under the most demanding conditions. 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.
Pagid Racing Brake compounds are for steel (cast iron) rotors only unless otherwise noted.
Pagid Pre-Bedding Service
Some Pagid racing brake pads are available pre-bedded and “ready to race”. Good preparation and adjustment of the car is the basic requirement for any successful race. Bedding the brake components requires good concentration, experience and a lot of training time. But time is often crucial and you need to save it for other purposes.
Incorrectly bedded brakes reduce the controllability and the lifetime of the pads and discs. The maximum braking performance can only be achieved by correctly bedded brake parts.
To save time and money, we offer pre-bedding brake pads via a computer controlled system. Using the right sensory input, we can precisely bed in your pads free from environmental influences like traffic, rain, and even driver training.
Pagid Racing 2019 Brake Pad RSL 1 Compound
Used in GT cars, touring cars and prototype endurance racing. Due to the high friction and good modulation, often used in sprint races as well. RSL 1 is a low metallic resin bonded material containing steel and aramid fibers with very high heat resistance. It maintains a constant friction level over a wide range of temperatures. Its reduced wear rate and disc friendliness make this material appropriate for endurance races.
Pagid Racing 2019 Brake Pad RSL 1E Compound
RSL 1E is perfect as front axle application for long endurance GT and touring car racing. RSL 1E and RSL 1 are low metallic resin bonded materials containing steel and aramid fibers with very high heat resistance. They maintain a constant friction level over a wide range of temperatures. Their reduced wear rate and disc friendliness make these materials appropriate for endurance races.
RSL 1E is further improved in terms of pad life and modulation as well as friction stability at high temperatures and pad life. As a benefit, RSL 1E provides the lowest pad wear rate in the PAGID Racing portfolio for highly thermally loaded applications.

Sparco Land+ Racing Gloves | FIA & SFI
$202.00
Sparco Land+ Racing Gloves
The Sparco Land+ Racing Gloves build on the proven comfort and value of the original Land glove with a redesigned silicone grip system for greater steering control and feedback. Printed high-grip silicone across the palm and fingertips improves traction without adding excessive bulk between the driver and the steering wheel.
An ergonomic palm shape follows the hand’s natural driving position, while reinforced stitching supports durability through repeated steering inputs and long race sessions. The elasticated wrist keeps the glove securely positioned and allows quick entry and removal.
Available in Black, Blue, Red, and Yellow, the Sparco Land+ combines updated grip technology, straightforward comfort, and dual FIA and SFI competition approval.
Upgraded Grip Over the Original Sparco Land
The primary difference between the Land+ and the standard Land glove is the palm treatment. Instead of traditional suede grip surfaces, the Land+ uses printed high-grip silicone across the palm and fingertips.
This low-profile silicone pattern increases traction against the steering wheel while preserving the sensitivity needed to feel changes in steering load, tire grip, and vehicle response.
Silicone Fingertips for Precise Cockpit Control
Silicone grip extends onto the fingertips to improve control of paddle shifters, steering-wheel buttons, switches, and gear levers. The added traction helps reduce unwanted finger movement during rapid shifts and aggressive steering corrections.
Because the silicone is printed directly onto the glove, it provides grip without the bulk of a separate reinforcement layer.
Ergonomic Palm Construction
The palm is shaped around the natural position of the hand when gripping a steering wheel. This design helps reduce material bunching and keeps the glove aligned through braking, cornering, shifting, and repeated directional changes.
Reinforced stitching supports the high-contact areas of the palm and helps the glove maintain its shape during regular competition use.
Direct Steering Feedback
The Land+ is designed to provide secure traction without isolating the driver from the wheel. Its streamlined palm construction allows steering vibration, resistance, and load changes to remain easy to feel.
This combination of grip and sensitivity helps the driver maintain control with less squeezing pressure, which can reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions.
Elastic Wrist for Quick Entry and Secure Retention
An elasticated wrist holds the glove firmly in place without requiring a separate adjustment strap. The flexible opening makes the glove easy to put on and remove while maintaining a close fit once worn.
The streamlined wrist also provides clean overlap with the sleeve of a compatible fire-resistant racing suit.
Four Competition Colorways
The Sparco Land+ Racing Gloves are offered in four bold color options:
Black
Blue
Red
Yellow
Each colorway uses the same ergonomic palm design, printed silicone grip, elastic wrist, and certified protective construction.
FIA and SFI Approved Protection
The Sparco Land+ is approved to the FIA 8856-2018 standard and carries SFI approval for competition use. Its dual certification makes it compatible with many racing organizations that require approved fire-resistant driver gloves.
Drivers should confirm the exact certification required by their sanctioning body before competition.

Land vs. Land+: What Changed?
The standard Sparco Land uses suede grip material across the palm and fingertips. The Land+ replaces that traditional treatment with printed silicone, creating a more modern and aggressive grip surface.
Both gloves retain an ergonomic palm, reinforced stitching, elastic wrist support, and certified competition protection. Drivers who prefer a tackier steering-wheel connection will generally favor the Land+.

Stilo ST6 FN ABP Carbon Fiber 8860-2018 Racing Helmet
The Stilo ST6 FN ABP Carbon Fiber Racing Helmet is built for professional drivers who demand Stilo's highest level of open-cockpit protection without sacrificing weight, airflow, visibility, or comfort. Developed with direct input from Formula 1 and endurance racing teams, the ST6 generation advances the championship-proven ST5 platform with updated aerodynamics, a redesigned ventilation system, improved downward visibility, new interior padding, and an entirely new visor system.
This FN ABP version combines Stilo's lightweight Carbon PURO Tech construction with FIA 8860-2018 ABP homologation. Advanced Ballistic Protection extends the protected area across the forehead, making the ST6 FN ABP specifically suited to high-level open-wheel and open-cockpit racing where protection from airborne debris is critical.
FIA 8860-2018 Advanced Ballistic Protection
ABP stands for Advanced Ballistic Protection. The ST6 FN ABP incorporates an extended protective area across the forehead to address the additional hazards faced by drivers in exposed cockpits.
The FIA 8860-2018 ABP configuration represents one of Stilo's highest-specification full-face racing helmet platforms and is intended for competitors operating at professional and international levels of motorsport.
Developed with Formula 1 Experience
Stilo developed the ST6 with extensive input from drivers and teams competing at the highest levels of Formula 1 and endurance racing. Feedback from professional drivers influenced the helmet's airflow, visibility, comfort, aerodynamics, and hardware.
The result is not simply a cosmetic update to the ST5. The ST6 was re-engineered around the real demands of modern high-speed race cars, particularly open-wheel applications where aerodynamic stability, cooling, vision, and helmet security all become more critical.
Carbon PURO Tech Shell
The ST6 FN uses Stilo's Carbon PURO Tech construction, developed to produce an extremely lightweight carbon shell while maintaining the structural performance required for elite motorsport.
PURO technology minimizes unnecessary finishing materials and coatings, allowing the carbon construction itself to deliver a clean finished surface while reducing excess weight.
Up to 11% Lighter Than the ST5
Weight reduction was a major focus during development of the ST6. Stilo states that the new generation can be up to 11% lighter than the ST5 while delivering improved safety performance.
Reducing helmet mass can be especially valuable in formula and open-cockpit racing, where high lateral loads, braking forces, aerodynamic buffeting, and long race durations place substantial stress on the driver's neck.
Three-Shell Sizing System
The ST6 range uses three shell sizes to better match the exterior helmet dimensions to the driver's actual head size.
Rather than placing a broad range of sizes into a single oversized shell, this approach helps keep the helmet as compact and light as practical for each driver. Stilo also offers an additional extra-small Zero shell on selected ST6 Zero models.
F1-Inspired Airflow System
The ST6 FN ABP features a redesigned airflow system based on Stilo's Formula 1 experience. Front ventilation was reshaped to move more air through the helmet while maintaining the structural and aerodynamic requirements of high-level competition.
Top ventilation openings channel air through the helmet's internal structure to help reduce heat, sweat, and moisture during demanding race sessions.
Improved Downward Field of View
Stilo increased the ST6's downward field of vision compared with the ST5. This change provides drivers with improved visibility toward the steering wheel, dashboard, controls, mirrors, and nearby cockpit surroundings.
The additional visibility can be especially useful in formula and prototype cockpits where the seating position and surrounding bodywork can make downward sightlines particularly important.
Injection-Molded ST6 ABP Visor
The ST6 introduces a new injection-molded visor designed for optical performance, durability, and smoother operation.
The visor receives Stilo's new high-performance washable anti-fog treatment, helping maintain clear vision while allowing the visor to be cleaned and maintained more easily than traditional anti-fog coatings.
The ST6 FN ABP requires the dedicated Stilo ST6 ABP visor family to maintain the helmet's Advanced Ballistic Protection configuration.
Dual-Position Visor Lock
Stilo redesigned the visor locking mechanism for the ST6 generation. The system is engineered to comply with current FIA requirements with the visor in both the fully closed position and ventilation position.
This allows the driver to use a controlled partially open setting for additional airflow while retaining a secure mechanical locking system.
Updated Visor Hardware
New visor pivots, sliders, and mounting hardware provide smoother operation and easier installation compared with the previous generation.
The updated design also makes visor removal and replacement more straightforward when changing between clear, tinted, mirrored, or other compatible ST6 ABP shields.
Improved Cheek Pad Stability
The ST6 uses newly designed cheek padding intended to improve both comfort and helmet stability. The revised shape helps hold the helmet securely around the driver's face while reducing unnecessary pressure during long sessions.
This is especially important in open cars where wind loading, vibration, and high cornering forces can continually act on the helmet.
Designed for Open-Cockpit Performance
The ST6 FN ABP interior and aerodynamic package are specifically optimized for performance in open cars. The combination of improved cheek support, airflow management, ABP forehead protection, and refined external aerodynamics makes the helmet particularly well suited to formula, prototype, and other exposed-cockpit race cars.
Communication-System Ready
The ST6 FN ABP is prepared for installation of multiple Stilo communication configurations. Internal routing provisions allow compatible microphones, earbud connections, earmuff speaker systems, radio connections, and other electronic components to be integrated cleanly into the helmet.
This gives teams flexibility to configure the helmet around the communication system required by the car, championship, or driver's preference.
Integrated Equipment Routing
Stilo redesigned the internal padding channels of the ST6 platform to simplify installation of racing electronics and related equipment.
The routing system helps keep communication wiring and other components organized while minimizing interference with helmet fit and driver comfort.

ST6 FN ABP vs. ST6 FN
The primary difference between the ST6 FN ABP and standard ST6 FN is the additional Advanced Ballistic Protection incorporated into the ABP model.
The standard ST6 FN provides the core ST6 carbon construction, airflow, visibility, visor, and comfort improvements. The ST6 FN ABP adds the extended forehead protection required for ABP homologation and uses dedicated ST6 ABP visors.
ST6 FN ABP vs. ST6 FN Zero ABP
Both models provide Advanced Ballistic Protection, but the ST6 FN Zero ABP represents Stilo's ultimate weight-focused configuration and provides access to the additional smaller Zero shell for the appropriate head sizes.
The standard ST6 FN ABP offers the same core ST6 design philosophy and FIA 8860-2018 ABP protection in Stilo's Carbon PURO Tech construction.
ST6 ABP Visor Compatibility
The ST6 FN ABP requires dedicated Stilo ST6 ABP visors. Genuine ST6 ABP shields are available in multiple configurations, including clear, smoked, silver, mirrored, and double-glazed options.
Because the ABP visor is part of the helmet's protective system, standard non-ABP ST6 visors should not be substituted when ABP compliance is required.
Getting the Correct ST6 Fit
Stilo revised its sizing and shell structure for the ST6 generation, so drivers moving from an ST5 should not automatically assume that the same labeled size will provide an identical fit.
A correctly fitted helmet should provide light, even pressure around the entire head without isolated pressure points. The helmet should remain stable when the head moves and should not rotate independently around the driver's head.
Measure around the widest part of the head with a flexible measuring tape, approximately one inch above the eyebrows and around the rear of the skull. Take the measurement multiple times and compare the largest consistent measurement with the ST6 sizing chart.
