Yokohama unveils Harper Adams partnership, classic tyre range at Autosport Manufacturer's tyres to be used in 28 different UK championships in 2020

摘要

YOKOHAMA has marked its 30th Autosport International show with a number of new partnerships in motorsport. Visitors to Autosport were also able to take a good look at the recently launched range of Yokohama tyres for classic cars. Some even caught a glimpse of rally legend Paddy Hopkirk at the Yokohama stand. In present day rallying, the tyre manufacturer has extended its support for grass roots and developing drivers in a new partnership with Harper Adams Motorsport Team. Fully led and driven by students from the Shropshire university, the team will be competing in a selected number of high-profile events in 2020 including Wales Rally GB and Goodwood FOS Rally in their ex-M-Sport Ford Fiesta R2 fitted with Yokohama's A053 rally tyre. Elsewhere in rallying, Yokohama will continue to support Daniel Harper in his Minisport-run John Cooper Works Mini WRC as well as promising young driver Ed Fossey in his Peugeot R2 rally car. Further supporting the future stars of tomorrow, Yokohama will continue to support drivers in the Formula 1000 Rally Club, a low entry cost rally championship for drivers aged between 14 and 17 years.
