Dunlop to supply Moto3 and Moto2
Dunlop Motorsport, IRTA and Dorna Sports have signed a contract for the exclusive supply of tyres to the Moto3 Championship, a deal which will commence upon the introduction of the new category in 2012 and will run until the end of the 2014 season. An agreement has also been made to extend the existing Moto2 Championship contract until at least the end of 2014.
Dunlop will supply tyres and technical support to every competitor in Moto3, the replacement for the 125cc World Championship. Dunlop has exclusively supplied tyres to Moto2 since its inauguration in 2010. Dunlop's supply has been ratified by Dorna and the International Road Racing Teams Association (IRTA).
Jean-Felix Bazelin, General Manager, Dunlop Motorsport, commented :
"Moto3 is an exciting new championship for Dunlop, our engineers and technicians and we relish the new challenge, and look forward to the progress in our understanding as we develop tyres for the new 250cc 4-stroke powered racing machines. The extension of our Moto2 contract is a strong validation of the good job we have done in that Championship, the results of which are clear to see."
