Police in Cumbria in the UK have charged three men in connection to a quantity of high performance tyres stolen from Pirelli Tyres’ factory in Carlisle over a period of several months.
Pirelli’s family of high performance tyres carry the same names as those seen on the sidewalls of the Italian’s firm’s Formula One rubber: P Zero (for the four dry-weather F1 tyres) and Cinturato (for the two wet-weather F1 tyres).
Pirelli is opening up a new era in tyre technology, just as it did when the radial Cinturato was introduced in the 1950s and the ultra low profile tyre made its debut in the 1970s.
This year Pirelli returned to the World Rally Championship, but with a different objective compared to when the Italian firm was involved as sole supplier (from 2008-2010).
Rubens Barrichello, the most experienced driver in Formula One history, has won this year’s Brazilian Stock Car Championship: one of the most prominent motorsport series in South America, which has been exclusively supplied by Pirelli since 2013.
Just as he did on the snow-covered Rally Sweden earlier this year, privateer Pirelli driver Henning Solberg broke Volkswagen’s domination of the stage times on Wales Rally GB, going fastest of all on the Chirk Castle stage.
The Pirelli-supported GT Cup Championship has crowned four different champions following its final two races of the season at Outlon Park in Cheshire last weekend.
