#goodyear #truck #racing Tyres for the next three years">All entrants to exclusively race on #goodyear #truck #racing Tyres for the next three years

With the start of the 2019 season #goodyear is confirming its long-term commitment in #truck #racing. #goodyear is honoured to extend its partnership with the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) as exclusive tyre provider to the FIA #europeantruckracing Championship for a further three years, until 2021.

Starting at Misano, Italy on May 26, the series will yet again see the thrills of 1,500 horsepower, 5.5 tonne trucks #racing at speeds of up to 160 km/h with acceleration similar to a high performance sports car.

All entrants will be exclusively #racing on specially developed #goodyear #truck #racing Tyres. The extended exclusive relationship with the FIA and the #europeantruckracing Association (ETRA) gives #goodyear the stage to demonstrate its innovative technological capabilities in #truck tyres and test new technologies for #truck tyres under challenging and competitive conditions.

“We are very proud to continue our commitment to #truck #racing, which started 15 years ago. The special tyres we produce for the series achieve two goals – firstly they ensure that the trucks can perform at high speed in all conditions - ensuring thrilling #racing. Secondly they demonstrate the quality of our #truck tyres as all the race tyres use similar casings to those used every day on the roads of Europe.David Anckaert, Vice President #goodyear Commercial Europe
