With the speeds you are braking at, and the extended race times vs an oval, I would go with a semi-metallic pad

hi all i bought carbotech pads but it was the same as standart so i bought Ferodo (ceramic) pads and effect was better. my brake distance from 20 meters decrased to 16 meters and have good sens. so i think you have to chek these ferodo brake pads....

thanks to Jim for briliant service!!!
