Goodyear title sponsor of Le Mans UK return

Goodyear will headline the return of the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) to the United Kingdom this weekend, serving as title sponsor of the Goodyear 4 Hours of Silverstone.

The Goodyear-sponsored race marks the first ELMS event on British soil since 2019 and serves as the penultimate round of the 2025 season.

Goodyear has continued this season as the exclusive tyre supplier for both the LMP2 and LMGT3 categories in ELMS, roles it has held since 2021 and 2024 respectively, supplying tyres to 34 of the record-breaking 44 full-season entries.

Goodyear will equip 13 LMP2, 8 LMP2 Pro-Am, and 13 LMGT3 entrants at Silverstone; more than three-quarters of the entire grid.

At every ELMS round, Goodyear supplies entrants with a single slick and wet-weather specification. For Silverstone, LMP2 competitors will run Goodyear’s newly developed ‘Eagle’ slick specification – first introduced at the 4 Hours of Le Castellet in May – featuring a special – edition sidewall design celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Goodyear Blimp.

The branding debuted in Europe with LMGT3 competitors at Spa’s WEC round in May, and in the US on NASCAR stock cars during the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway in April.

Teams competing in LMGT3 will run Goodyear’s proven ‘Eagle Medium’ slick compound, the same tire used by LMGT3 entrants at all other ELMS rounds, as well as at WEC races at Qatar, Imola and Spa, and at Le Mans. These tyres will also carry the commemorative Blimp branding.
