Performance Friction 331 Compound

Race pads with smooth initial bite, stable friction with slight taper as temperature rises, and excellent release and modulation characteristics

Performance Friction race pads have been the pad of choice for the BimmerWorld IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge Team since we tested our first set back in our World Challenge days. The fact is, Performance Friction race pads take home more championships per year - including the 2018 IMSA ST title - than any other pad brand on the market, and those same pads are available to you.

We collaborated with PFC on this rear pad to work with the PFC 11 front compound. It has been specifically engineered around BMW ABS systems where the torque slightly tapers back as temperature rises. This gives more front bias and less ABS intervention in the rear. It can also be used with the 08 compound. This is one of two rear pads we used throughout our championship-winning 2018 F30 campaign (the other is a 332 compound).

The mission of Performance Friction is to provide the optimal pad compound for each application that they make. Rather than the “shotgun” method of developing every pad in every compound, PFC builds the correct pad to suit the venue it is designed for.
