Released in a limited number of shapes for 2019, the DS3.12 is the latest evolution in Ferodo's DS line. The Ferodo Racing DS3.12 pad compound works for club racing, HPDE, and time trials. The DS3.12 shows a slightly rising torque curve across a broad temperature range. It has a higher mu than Ferodo's other compounds, so not as much leg pressure is required to initiate the desired response. In dyno testing, the DS3.12 has shown superior wear rates to the other Ferodo compounds, while remaining kind to the discs.

The main characteristics of DS3.12 are:

- High coefficient of friction (0,53) at all speeds and temperatures
- Excellent life of pad and disc
- High initial bite
- Predictability and control because of the unvarying torque output
- Low off-brake drag/Excellent release
- Unvarying performance throughout pad life
- Firm pedal feel
