TS20 is particularly well suited to spirited street driving, HPDE events, and track days where braking performance and everyday drivability are both important.
RE10 vs. TS20: Which Compound Should You Choose?
Choosing the correct Race Technologies P1304 brake compound depends on how the vehicle is used 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.

Ferodo DS2500 Compound Details
Although we always recommend using a dedicated race pad for the track, the DS2500 is one of the best hybrid street/track pads on the market. It features the moderately high bite and solid fade resistance of a track pad, with the relatively low dust and noise levels of a street pad. When used as a street pad, it can produce some squeal on certain vehicle platforms. If you drive aggressively on the street, do some canyon runs, autocross, and maybe some light track duty on street tires, the DS2500 is tough to beat.
The Ferodo DS2500 is one of the most popular performance brake pad compounds for drivers who want strong braking on the street and dependable performance at the track. If you are looking for a street and track brake pad with excellent cold bite, low noise, and impressive fade resistance, the DS2500 is a proven choice.
The DS2500 delivers confident pedal feel, consistent stopping power, and better high-temperature performance than typical street pads. It is an excellent option for spirited driving, autocross, HPDE, and dual-purpose performance cars.
Strong cold bite for street use
Low noise when properly bedded
Excellent fade resistance for a dual-purpose pad
Great match for performance street tires
Best for: drivers who want a versatile Ferodo brake pad for daily driving, canyon runs, and light to moderate track use without giving up refinement.
Note: DS2500 is a race-derived compound and may produce more dust than an ordinary OEM street pad.
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 FRP0202 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 FRP0202 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.

Castrol React SRF Synthetic Racing Brake Fluid (1000 ml)
from $99.95
Castrol React SRF Racing Brake Fluid
Ultra-High Wet Boiling Point Makes Castrol SRF A Standout
Castrol React SRF Racing Brake Fluid is an ultra-high performance brake fluid popular with many of the highest performing auto racing teams around the world. The key to Castrol SRF brake fluid's performance is its silicon-ester technology. Not only is it less hygroscopic (i.e., it absorbs less water) than typical glycol-based brake fluids, Castrol SRF also reacts chemically with any absorbed water to further reduce its adverse effects on high-temperature braking performance.
The result is an almost unheard of 518° F (270° C) wet boiling point, more than 100° F higher than most other racing brake fluids!
Exceeds SAE 1703, ISO 4925, JIS K2233, FMVSS No. 116 DOT3 and DOT 4 specifications.
Note: Castrol SRF is not a silicone-based brake fluid (i.e., DOT 5) and is compatible with most factory brake systems and fluids, including DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids. Always follow vehicle manufacturer's recommendations when adding brake fluid.
Castrol React SRF Racing Brake Fluid Typical Properties:
Dry Boiling Point: 590°F (310°C)
Wet Boiling Point: 518°F (270°C)
Superior anti-vapor lock properties

The close racing fit supports natural hand movement and precise cockpit control, making these gloves a practical choice for drivers who need modern protection and consistent grip throughout demanding sessions.
Advanced Silicone Palm Grip
The palm features strategically applied silicone grip material designed to improve traction against the steering wheel. This high-grip surface helps reduce unwanted hand movement during aggressive steering inputs, heavy braking, and high-load cornering.
The low-profile silicone pattern preserves steering feedback and allows the driver to maintain control without applying excessive gripping pressure. This can help reduce hand fatigue during longer races and repeated track sessions.
High-Strength Aramid-Fiber Construction
The Sabelt Challenge Evo TG-2.2 is constructed from durable fire-resistant aramid fiber. This lightweight material provides the protection required for motorsport competition while maintaining flexibility and comfort.
The streamlined construction minimizes unnecessary bulk around the fingers and palm, supporting precise operation of paddle shifters, steering-wheel controls, switches, and other cockpit equipment.
Lightweight Racing Fit
The close anatomical fit allows the glove to move naturally with the hand. Reduced material around the fingers helps improve dexterity and prevents excessive bunching while gripping the steering wheel.
This lightweight design is especially valuable during endurance racing, extended HPDE sessions, and other applications where comfort and control must remain consistent over time.
Enhanced Steering-Wheel Feedback
The combination of a thin palm construction and strategically positioned silicone grip provides clear feedback from the steering wheel. Drivers can better feel changes in grip, vibration, and steering load without sacrificing secure contact.
This responsive feel supports more precise corrections and smoother control during demanding track conditions.
Durable Printed Sabelt Graphics
Printed Sabelt logos provide clean professional styling while maintaining the lightweight construction of the glove. The graphics complement the streamlined design without adding unnecessary layers or bulk.
FIA 8856-2018 Certified Protection

Developed from PFC's ultra-popular 01 compound with improved bite, modulation, and release characteristics. PFC 11 is ultra-smooth, developed to reduce wheel locking at the end of braking while giving more hot and cold bite than the endurance-oriented 08 compound. Brake with ultimate control, modulation, and confidence.
PFC 08 Compound
One of PFC's most popular compounds which came to fame in Endurance sports car and GT racing due to its performance in applications where smooth initial bite is a must. PFC 08 has a slight friction rise with temperature, with excellent release and modulation characteristics. Despite its considerable performance, PFC 08 has the lowest wear rate of all PFC compounds, easily matching the wear characteristics of competitors' materials but with much higher bite and consistent performance across a broad temperature range.

Ferodo DS1.11 Brake Compound Details
The DS1.11 has a lower mu than the DS3.12 at all temperatures and can be characterized as a moderate mu pad vs. other endurance racing compounds. They require more pedal force than the DS3.12, and they have a slightly declining torque curve as temperatures rise. As they get hotter and you dive deeper into a turn, you may feel like you need to push a little harder on the brake pedal to elicit the same response (which is a feel many drivers actually prefer). Some drivers feel that the DS1.11 is more controllable on street tires than DS3.12 since ABS cannot be activated as easily. It will last a fairly long time vs. many other pad compounds on the market but does not last quite as long as the DS3.12. They are very gentle on discs at track temperatures when a proper pad transfer layer is maintained. The DS1.11 also has an outstanding max temp and fade resistance, just not quite as high as 3.12. We're not aware of anyone who has faded them, and most people differentiate between the DS1.11 and DS3.12 based on feel.
The Ferodo DS1.11 is a proven endurance racing brake pad compound designed for drivers who need outstanding fade resistance, long pad life, and precise control under repeated high-temperature braking. For track cars and serious HPDE builds, DS1.11 is a trusted Ferodo race brake pad with a strong reputation for consistency.
This DS1.11 features stable braking performance, excellent modulation, and durability in demanding track conditions. Compared with more street-focused compounds, DS1.11 is better suited to aggressive lapping, endurance sessions, and drivers who value a progressive pedal feel.
Exceptional fade resistance for track use
Long wear characteristics in endurance-style driving
Progressive, controllable pedal feel
Excellent choice for HPDE and racing applications
Best for: drivers looking for a track brake pad with durability, modulation, and high-temperature stability for repeated hard use.
Note: DS1.11 is a race compound and is not ideal for customers seeking low noise, low dust, or refined street manners.
Ferodo DS2500 Compound Details
Although we always recommend using a dedicated race pad for the track, the DS2500 is one of the best hybrid street/track pads on the market. It features the moderately high bite and solid fade resistance of a track pad, with the relatively low dust and noise levels of a street pad. When used as a street pad, it can produce some squeal on certain vehicle platforms. If you drive aggressively on the street, do some canyon runs, autocross, and maybe some light track duty on street tires, the DS2500 is tough to beat.
The Ferodo DS2500 is one of the most popular performance brake pad compounds for drivers who want strong braking on the street and dependable performance at the track. If you are looking for a street and track brake pad with excellent cold bite, low noise, and impressive fade resistance, the DS2500 is a proven choice.
The DS2500 delivers confident pedal feel, consistent stopping power, and better high-temperature performance than typical street pads. It is an excellent option for spirited driving, autocross, HPDE, and dual-purpose performance cars.
Strong cold bite for street use
Low noise when properly bedded
Excellent fade resistance for a dual-purpose pad
Great match for performance street tires
Best for: drivers who want a versatile Ferodo brake pad for daily driving, canyon runs, and light to moderate track use without giving up refinement.
Note: DS2500 is a race-derived compound and may produce more dust than an ordinary OEM street pad.
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 FRP3003 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 FRP3003 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.

Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes
from $129.95
$169.95
Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K Youth v2 Karting Shoes give young racers the comfort, support, and precise pedal feedback needed for competitive karting. Developed specifically for junior drivers, the Tech-1 K Youth v2 combines a durable nubuck microfiber upper with an anatomical fit, reinforced protection, and an ultra-thin Formula 1-inspired outsole.
A revised forefoot profile reduces unnecessary bulk around the pedals, while the asymmetric lacing system creates a secure and supportive fit. Strategic perforations improve airflow, and reinforced toe and heel areas help the shoes withstand the repeated wear associated with practice, qualifying, and racing.
Youth Karting Shoes Built for Control
The Tech-1 K Youth v2 is designed to help developing drivers maintain a stable connection with the kart. Its lightweight construction supports natural ankle movement, while the low-profile outsole provides the sensitivity needed for smooth brake and throttle inputs.
The close-fitting design also helps reduce unwanted foot movement inside the shoe, giving young racers greater confidence during fast pedal transitions and demanding race sessions.
Durable Nubuck Microfiber Construction
The upper uses a durable combination of nubuck and microfiber materials for support, flexibility, and abrasion resistance. Strategically positioned perforated zones improve ventilation without compromising the shoe’s supportive structure.
This lightweight construction helps keep the foot comfortable during long indoor sessions and warm outdoor race weekends.
Enhanced Anatomical Fit
An updated anatomical profile follows the natural shape of the foot more closely. The flatter forefoot reduces excess material around the toes and improves the driver’s connection with closely positioned kart pedals.
This streamlined fit supports more accurate brake pressure and throttle modulation while maintaining room for natural foot movement.
Dual Asymmetric Closure System
The asymmetric closure combines aramidic speed lacing with an adjustable hook-and-loop ankle strap. Positioning the closure away from the center of the foot helps distribute pressure more evenly and creates a secure, personalized fit.
Durable para-aramidic eyelets support the lacing system during repeated adjustment and regular racing use.
Ergonomic Heel Counter
An ergonomic polypropylene foot counter supports and stabilizes the heel during braking and rapid pedal transitions. This structure helps reduce unwanted rear-foot movement while allowing the ankle to operate naturally.
Reinforced Toe Protection
External reinforcements on both sides of the toe improve abrasion resistance in areas commonly exposed to pedals, chassis components, and repeated contact inside the kart.
External Heel Reinforcement
A protective rubber section at the rear of the heel adds durability and abrasion resistance while entering the kart, operating the pedals, and moving through the paddock.
Ultra-Thin Formula 1 Specification Sole
The Tech-1 K Youth v2 uses an ultra-thin outsole inspired by Alpinestars Formula 1 footwear technology. Its exclusive rubber compound is strategically ribbed to provide dependable grip and clear pedal feedback.
The low-profile construction helps young drivers feel changes in brake pressure and throttle position in both wet and dry karting conditions.
Comfortable Low-Cut Collar
The soft microfiber collar is cut lower at the rear to reduce pressure around the Achilles area. This improves ankle mobility and comfort during repeated braking and acceleration.
Lightweight nitrile rubber padding provides additional cushioning without adding unnecessary bulk.
Perforated Padded Tongue
The tongue includes soft padding to cushion the top of the foot and perforations that improve airflow. Its flexible construction works with the asymmetric closure to create a comfortable and secure fit.

Available in Navy or White, the Sparco Land Gulf Racing glove is designed for drivers who want FIA-approved protection with genuine endurance-racing character.
Gulf Racing Heritage Styling
The Gulf Racing Land glove celebrates one of motorsport’s most recognizable liveries. Its embroidered Gulf Racing emblem and Sparco badge reproduce the appearance of classic racing equipment associated with historic endurance competition.

Modern Protection Beneath the Classic Design
Although the glove’s appearance is rooted in racing history, its protective construction has been updated for current competition. Fire-resistant aramid material provides modern heat and flame protection while preserving the flexible feel expected from a traditional racing glove.
The Sparco Land Gulf Racing glove is approved to FIA 8856-2018, allowing drivers to enjoy vintage styling without relying on outdated safety equipment.
Single-Panel Aramid Construction
The glove body uses a high-strength, fire-resistant aramid fabric formed into a streamlined single-panel design. Reducing unnecessary seams and material transitions creates a smooth feel across the hand and helps minimize bunching during prolonged steering-wheel contact.
The flexible construction follows the movement of the hand while maintaining the coverage required for competitive motorsport use.
Ergonomic Reinforced Palm
The palm is shaped to follow the natural position of the hand around the steering wheel. Reinforced stitching helps the glove maintain its fit through repeated steering inputs while supporting durability in high-contact areas.
This ergonomic construction improves consistency between the hand and steering wheel, helping the driver maintain precise control during braking, cornering, and rapid corrections.
Suede Palm and Fingertip Grip
Strategically positioned suede reinforcement on the palm and fingertips provides dependable traction without creating a thick or disconnected feel. The traditional suede surface enhances steering-wheel grip while preserving tactile feedback.
Suede fingertips also improve control when operating switches, paddle shifters, gear levers, and steering-wheel buttons.
Internal Stitching for a Traditional Fit
Internal seam construction creates a clean exterior and preserves the classic appearance of the glove. The carefully shaped design helps reduce excess material around the palm and fingers while maintaining a close, secure fit.
The result is a traditional racing-glove feel with the durability and protection expected from current Sparco equipment.
Elasticated Wrist Support
An elasticated wrist helps hold the glove securely in place without requiring a bulky strap or closure. The anti-slip construction reduces unwanted movement during aggressive steering inputs and high-intensity driving.
The streamlined wrist also provides comfortable overlap with the sleeve of a compatible racing suit.
FIA 8856-2018 Homologated
The Sparco Land Gulf Racing Nomex Gloves are homologated to the FIA 8856-2018 standard for protective clothing used in automobile competition. This certification confirms that the gloves meet current FIA requirements for heat and flame resistance.
