Track notes

Blue 9012 comes up to friction at lower temperatures than the Dynamic Torque Control compounds, which makes it a sensible rear pad on a chassis where the rear brakes never build the heat the fronts do. It remains a race compound and is not a quiet daily pad.

About the Blue 9012 compound

Blue 9012 is a long-running Hawk race friction material for applications that never build extreme heat. Torque is low to intermediate and the usable window sits lower than the Dynamic Torque Control grades, so it is easier to live with on shorter sessions and lighter cars. It is still a competition pad: it wears rotors faster and runs louder than a factory replacement pad.
