Is it just a track car ?

1166's are high temp non fade pads and will take a short while to get up to temperature. But do come highly recommended for track, they are not recommended for road use.

I use 1177+2's and always warm them up before going anywhere in the car by either driving round on the left foot or jacking the car up and running them up to temp. This saves all the awkward moments on track.
