Track Approved: Zoran Tilev tests Street+ brake pads

On June 30, 2025, the Bilster Berg circuit became a hotspot for motorsport enthusiasts as KW automotive, the market leader in suspension systems, hosted a track day where drivers could test their vehicles under real racing conditions.

PAGID Racing, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-performance brake pads, participated as an official partner and supported the event. As part of the program, PAGID Racing also offered hands-on training sessions, sharing in-depth knowledge about its products and the wide range of materials in its portfolio. Numerous vehicles on the track were equipped with the company’s high-performance brake pads – a powerful demonstration of their quality in real-world racing use. The KW Trackday thus provided the perfect platform for technology, exchange, and driving excitement.

Street+ by PAGID Racing is ECE R90 certified and ideal for a hotlap and the way home

A particular highlight was the PAGID Racing-initiated test with tuning expert and YouTuber Zoran Tilev. His Hyundai i20 N, equipped with numerous performance upgrades such as a closed underbody, a rear wing for improved aerodynamics, a modified suspension, and semi-slick tires, was driven by Tilev himself: first with regular series brake pads, then in direct comparison with the Street+ pads.

Tilev was impressed by the performance. Despite ambient temperatures exceeding 30°C and multiple hot stops of the vehicle, the pads remained stable and reliable. “Therefore, when it comes to this car, I’m very convinced by the Street+ pads,” Tilev concluded.

In addition to the Street+ pads, brake discs from sisterbrand TEXTAR were also used, perfectly complementing the braking performance.

Racing driver Nick Hancke was also present with his BMW M4 GT4 – a car that also competed in the 24-hour race at the famous Nürburgring.

He relied on the proven RSL29 racing brake pad from PAGID Racing and praised its precise braking behavior, especially in the track’s demanding corners.

"We are very proud to support this great event and to see that our products - for track and street - are equally proven on this demanding track", explains Carolin Leo, Global Brand Marketing Manager at PAGID Racing.
