Several brake pads on the market boast 'ceramic' technology. DS1.11 is the
real thing. It is based upon a chemical family known as Siloxanes. Unlike
carbon based materials, siloxane chains do not decompose at high temperatures
and so DS1.11 keeps on working up to the highest temperatures a brake pad could
ever see. That means it won't fade and has excellent life, the best in the
Ferodo Racing range. Moreover the performance remains exactly the same
throughout the pad's (long) life. It is formulated to provide a very flat
friction profile at a medium/high level of friction. The pad compression is very
low, always, and so pedal travel is short and consistent. The main
characteristics of DS1.11 are:
High coefficient of friction (0,50) at all
speeds and temperatures
Excellent life of pad and disc
High initial
bite
Predictability and control because of the unvarying torque output
Low
off-brake drag/Excellent release
Unvarying performance throughout pad
life
Firm pedal. Always.
Use: WA1GP, FIA GT, Touring Car, Formula cars and Group N.
Ferodo Brake Bedding-in Procedure
To achieve optimum performance from Ferodo Racing brake pads please follow the instructions below:
Perform 25 to 30 trial brake applications, each of approximately 4 seconds, using around
50% of normal race pedal pressure. To shorten the procedure applications can be made along the
straights as well as through bends.
On completion of trial applications return to the pit lane. Inspect the surface of the brake pads
from the two wheels which have been working the hardest. There should be evidence of contact over the
full pad area but without glazing. The pads are now ready to race.
Whilst we recommend that pads are inspected, if time does not allow this, assuming procedure
(1) has been carried out and a short period of time has elapsed to allow the brake system to cool, the pads will be ready to race.
Important: to optimize the performance and life of both brake pads and discs, during the
bedding-in period heat in the braking system should be built up progressively.
Pad wear inspection: brake pads must have at least 2mm of friction material.
Excessively worn brake pads must be replaced.
Thermal paint temperature control. Using this procedure, if none of the 3 paints has changed appearance and the braking
performance is not considered satisfactory, it may be necessary to reduce cooling to the discs.
If all 3 paints have changed appearance, it may be necessary to increase cooling to the discs.
