01Options and what their makers say
| COMPOUND | STATED TEMPERATURES | DUST / NOTES | SOURCE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawk Performance DTC-60 motorsport — 'Sports Car/GT/GS, Open Wheel/Formula' among the listed series | 400–1600 °F operating; 700–1100 °F optimal | not stated Race compound; Hawk lists it for competition series, not street. Not compatible with carbon-ceramic rotors. | Hawk Performance — DTC-60 |
| Hawk Performance DTC-70 motorsport — 'extremely high torque and highly aggressive initial bite for cars with high deceleration rates' | 400–1600 °F operating; 800–1200 °F optimal | not stated Race compound; Hawk lists it as a split-friction partner with DTC-60. Not compatible with carbon-ceramic rotors. | Hawk Performance — DTC-70 |
Street compounds bite from cold and dust less; track compounds need heat (Hawk's DTC ranges start at 400 °F) and are not listed for street. EBC says Yellowstuff is a street pad and that track use pushes past its 400 °C fade threshold. None of these makers publish a per-car pad recommendation here; per-car part numbers are missing until read from the maker's catalog.
