Kumho Tyre, the official tyre sponsor of the British Racing and Sports Car Club’s (BRSCC) Mazda MX-5 Supercup and Championship race series, has celebrated a thrilling season after the final round of the series at Brands Hatch on 19th and 20th October saw Aiden Hills winning the Supercup and Thomas Langford clinching the Championship title.
Jonathan Greensmith was also victorious in the Clubman series, marking a successful year for both drivers and Kumho’s high-performance tyres.
As the exclusive tyre partner for the Mazda MX-5 Championship series, Kumho provided competitors with its advanced, high-performance road and race-engineered tyres, contributing to close, competitive racing throughout the season.
