TOCA announced today that Dunlop Tyres Ltd is to be the sole tyre supplier to the MSA British Touring Car Championship for the next four years.
Dunlop's return to the category where it enjoyed much success in the Super Touring era, is a particularly welcome one for Dunlop Motorsport's Product Manager for Race and Rally, Tony Gilhome:
"We are delighted to have gained the tyre supply of such a prestigious championship as the BTCC - it's a real feather in our cap. Dunlop is totally committed to providing the fullest technical and service back up to the series and we are all looking forward to being back in the UK's premier motorsport championship. The BTCC adds to our extensive current European Touring car involvement, which includes the DTM, DTC and the STCC."
Richard West, TOCA Tour Series Director, commented:
"I would like to thank BFGoodrich® Tires for all their support over the past two seasons - they have played an important part in the successful rebuilding of the British Touring Car Championship. I'm very much looking forward to working with Dunlop during the next exciting chapter of the BTCC."
Dunlop previously competed in the BTCC with the Audi team, but in recent years Michelin and later BFGoodrich have been the sole tyre supplier.
