The verdict is still out on the HPS. Maybe for a beginner, but I burned up a set in about 2 laps on a buddy's Audi. Heavier, sure, but nowhere near the speeds a 'Vette will do.



BIG difference between HPDE braking and braking in a race. Maybe 10% of HPDE drivers use their brakes right in their first year.
HPS are fine for their first couple of events (thought their instructor should take note of how they're using their brekes).

A racer in an Audi burning up HPS pads, who'd a thunk it??
