Hawk HB711Q.661 DTC-80 Front Disc Brake Pads Motorsports Track

The Hawk Performance HB711Q.661 DTC-80 is a front disc brake pad set engineered for serious motorsports competition. Built around Hawk's most aggressive DTC-80 friction compound, these pads are purpose-built for the hardest braking circuits and highest-demand racing environments — including circle track, road racing, open wheel, and GT-class events.

Important Note: The DTC-80 is a track-only compound. These pads require elevated operating temperatures to reach full effectiveness and are not suitable for street or daily driving use.

Key Features:

• High initial bite for immediate, confident braking response
• Consistent brake torque maintained across a wide temperature range
• Rated for sustained temperatures over 1200°F — ideal for extended race sessions
• Flat coefficient of friction at high temps delivers predictable, corner-to-corner consistency
• Lower wear rates and higher torque values compared to competing race compounds
• Superior pad and rotor wear characteristics for extended service life under race conditions
• Generates more brake torque than the Hawk DTC-70 compound
• Compatible with iron and metal rotors only — not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors

Approved Racing Applications: NASCAR, NASCAR Modified, ARCA, Super Late Models, Pavement Circle Track, Pro 2 and Pro 4 Off-Road Trucks, Pro Lite, Sports Car, GT, GS, Open Wheel, Formula, and Monster Trucks.

Hawk Performance's DTC-80 compound is the result of over 25 years of motorsports dominance. For racers who have pushed past the limits of the DTC-70 or need greater torque output under extreme heat, the DTC-80 delivers the braking confidence and control required at the highest levels of competition.
