For the Novice – Going to the Track for the First Time in a Street Based Car
If you’re planning to visit a race track for a weekend track day (or ‘lapping event’ as they say in the USA), the first thing to do is consider swapping out your brake pads for something that will manage the heat better.
Most road-based car or motorcycle braking systems are not designed for race/track use and simply will not be up to the job, and a pad change is the first simple and inexpensive fix to help make your day at the track more enjoyable.

It’s also very important to note that it’s not normally a case of fitting new brake pads then hitting the gas – almost all pads will need at least some bedding-in. Click here to view a guide about what’s required to help bed-in your pads.
