Temperature range and overall friction value are the primary considerations for pad selection. Pads must maintain adequate friction for braking power within the temperatures that will be reached on the track. Overall wear should also be considered. For most asphalt and road racing applications, compounds in the high-temperature range, above 1000°F (538°C), are generally required. Dirt track, drag racing, and high-performance road vehicle applications typically operate at temperatures between 500° and 1000°F. Note that these are general ranges and not absolute values. Many unforeseen factors and influences can affect brake temperature. The best indicator for pad selection will always be track performance. If friction loss (pad fade) occurs due to overheating, improved cooling, a heavier disc, or pads with a higher temperature range may be necessary.
