An 11 year old girl is the latest youngster to gain tyre<\/a> support from Falken as the Japanese manufacturer expands its presence in UK grass roots motorsport.<\/p>\n

\"falken\"Complementing its recent announcement to back the ANWCC Under 17s AutoSOLO and the K11 Micra Rally series, the Japanese tyre manufacturer is raising the awareness of the importance of tyres to the next generation of car drivers.<\/p>\n

Catherine Harris has just scored her first heat and final victories in the National Ministox, where children ages 10 to 15 compete in armoured Minis on tarmac and shale tracks.<\/p>\n

Falken supplied Harris with the both ZIEX ZE912 and Sincera tyres, with the car running a mix of 10\u2019\u2019 and 12\u2019\u2019 wheels. By offering a blend of affordability and performance on tarmac and shale surfaces, ZE912 is an increasing popular choice for competitors.<\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s older brother Tom, himself a multiple stock car champion, helps maintain his sister\u2019s Ministox and decided to equip her Mini with Falken tyres, citing the key reasons for selecting the brand\u2019s tyres for the often tricky and challenging driving conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor kids, first and foremost we want a safe tyre from a known brand we trust,\u201d says Tom Harris, \u201cFalken not only delivers that but also offers good grip and provides the kids with excellent feedback as they learn to control the car.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFalken\u2019s ZE912 also offers excellent durability, making them long lasting, cost-effective tyres \u2013 ideal for kids to use while honing their racing skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Falken\u2019s UK and Ireland director, Matt Smith, getting involved in a growing multitude of motorsports targeting the youth market is exactly what tyre makers such as Falken should be doing. \u201cIt\u2019s imperative that younger people start learning about the importance of tyres,\u201d says Smith. \u201cThese initiatives get the younger audience thinking about the role of tyres in the safety and performance of the car.\u201d<\/p>\n

The support from Falken has already got Catherine Harris thinking about tyres: \u201cBefore, I never really thought about them but now I have learnt they make a big difference to how the car goes and stops.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
