The Hawk Performance DTC-30 is a motorsport-grade friction compound designed to deliver predictable, linear brake torque in high-temperature, high-load racing environments. It is particularly effective on platforms requiring finely tuned front axle response, offering a balance of strong initial bite, stable mid-corner deceleration, and clean release characteristics. The compound is optimized for use in applications where high deceleration events are repeated frequently, such as sprint racing, time attack, and high-performance driver education (HPDE) formats.

With an operational temperature window of 200°C to 870°C, DTC-30 maintains stable friction output across a wide thermal range, reducing the risk of torque fade under extended braking cycles. At temperatures between 800°F and 1,200°F—typical of front axle operating conditions during aggressive lapping—DTC-30 exhibits minimal variation in coefficient of friction, allowing for consistent pedal feedback lap after lap. This thermal stability also contributes to brake system predictability, improving driver confidence in threshold braking zones and under variable track grip conditions.

The compound’s initial bite is assertive without being overly aggressive, allowing for quick pedal engagement at turn-in without compromising modulation deeper into the braking zone. The linear friction response throughout the pedal stroke supports nuanced control, which is essential for managing chassis balance during trail braking. On release, DTC-30 disengages smoothly, minimizing pad drag and enabling cleaner transitions from brake to throttle input. This characteristic improves rotation and stability at corner exit—particularly important in platforms with a tendency toward understeer.

DTC-30 is a non-street compound, formulated strictly for closed-course use. It is compatible with a wide range of high-performance brake systems commonly adapted to BMW racing platforms and performs best when paired with rotors and system components capable of handling sustained thermal loads. For setups requiring higher torque or endurance-specific characteristics, Hawk offers alternative compounds such as DTC-60 or DTC-70; however, DTC-30 remains a strong choice where pedal modulation and mid-range torque control are paramount.
