Yokohama confirmed as SEAT Supercup Ireland tyre supplier

Yokohama has been confirmed as the tyre supplier for the SEAT Supercup Ireland, which will run as a distinct series in 2016.

Last year the SEAT Supercup Ireland ran on Yokohama tyres as a category of the Irish Touring Car Championship.

This year, however, it will stand alone and the ‘Supercopa’ cars will all use Yokohama ADVAN A005 and A006 dry slick and wet tyres respectively. The 12-round series in 2016 will take in three venues in Ireland, including the impressive Mondello Park facility.

In fact, the Japanese manufacturer’s relationship with Mondello Park will become closer in 2016, with two series running exclusively at the circuit also adopting Yokohama as control tyre.
The existing Fiesta Championship as well as the new-for-2016 Fiesta ST Championship will both run on Yokohama ADVAN A048 throughout 2016 and 2017.
Both the SEAT Supercup Ireland and the two Fiesta series will be supported by Yokohama’s Republic of Ireland distributor, Murray Motorsport.
