<\/p>\nPirelli is to continue as the single supplier of tyres to the FIA ERC3 Junior Championship for the 2020-2022 seasons.<\/p>\n
A long-term partner of European Rally Championship Junior and a staunch supporter of young driver development, Pirelli will also remain an official series partner of the ERC under a long-standing association with Eurosport Events.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jean-Baptiste Ley, the ERC co-ordinator, said: \u201cWe are delighted that the FIA has extended its agreement with Pirelli for a further three seasons. Pirelli has done an incredible job over the last four years, not only providing tyres but also teaching young ERC Junior drivers how to manage their tyres properly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2019, for the first time, the overall ERC was won by an ERC3 Junior champion, Chris Ingram, who took the ERC3 Junior title in 2017. That\u2019s the best advert possible for a junior category and this would not have been possible without the support of Pirelli over the past few years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pirelli\u2019s single supplier agreement extension with the FIA was rubber-stamped at a meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Paris on December 4. The company will supply its P Zero RK tyre for the three asphalt-based rounds of ERC3 Junior and its Scorpion K tyre for the three gravel events. It will also provide an on-event support service including technical advice from experienced engineers.<\/p>\n
Terenzio Testoni, Pirelli\u2019s rally activity manager, said: \u201cPirelli is delighted to continue as the single supplier of tyres to the FIA ERC3 Junior Championship as part of our company-wide philosophy of promoting young talent in rallying to ensure the future of the sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Pirelli also being an Official Series Partner of the ERC, as well as being present on a wide range of national rally series throughout Europe, a ladder of talent is in place to develop drivers from the grass roots of the sport all the way to the top, which is perfectly in keeping with the ethos behind the ERC as well. We look forward to another exciting season of great rallies and with the aim of discovering more champions of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pirelli’s history in motorsport stretches back for more than 100 years, and the Italian company has been involved in rallying since the sport was established at an international level.<\/p>\n
Pirelli also supplies F1 as well as GT racing and national championships on both two and four wheels.<\/p>\n
