Pagid Racing E1203R42
Brake pads racing RS 42 - shape 1203
Pagid Racing is the racing brand of the German TMD Friction group based in Essen: for more than 30 years it has developed brake pads, discs and brake fluid for motorsport, with compounds engineered in Germany and tested on circuits all over the world.
The RS compounds are Pagid's all-round race pads: consistent braking with good pedal feedback, low heat conductivity, easy bedding and gentle on the discs. Because of the pad colour many people simply call them "Pagid blue".
The RS 42 compound has a medium friction level and responds immediately even when cold; it beds in quickly. It is used in rallying and is also widespread on single-seaters and touring cars.
