BMW Motorsport and Dunlop extend Cup partnership
• The #bmw M235i #racing Cup becomes the #bmw M240i #racing Cup
• #dunlop #racing tires designed for wide range of conditions and driver experience
BMW Motorsport and #dunlop have extended their long-established partnership in the VLN Endurance Championship for at least another two years. #dunlop will continue to equip all #bmw Cup-class cars in the VLN races. These races are run at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and #dunlop will also supply its 265/660 R18 #racing tires for the circuit’s 24-hour race.
Since 2014, BMW M235i #racing Cup has been one of the best subscribed and most competitive classes in the VLN. For 2019, the category gets a facelift with an ‘Evo’ package upgrading the cars to #bmw M240i #racing Cup specification.
"We are pleased that the successful and enduring partnership with #bmw Motorsport continues on the world’s longest and toughest racetrack" says Alexander Kühn, Product Manager #dunlop Motorsport EMEA. "For years, the #bmw Cup class has invariably offered high-class motorsport and thrilling battles. This #dunlop #tire was tuned for the #bmw on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, so that it provides confidence to motorsport beginners as well as experienced drivers.”
BMW Motorsport has been offering a cost-effective entry-level model for the past five years with the #bmw M235i #racing Cup and an attractive competitive environment with its own Cup class. "We are pleased to continue the good and extremely successful cooperation with our #tire partner #dunlop and the VLN for another two years," says #bmw Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt. "With this contract extension, we make another clear commitment to customer sports. The #bmw M235i #racing was a great success right from the start as a standard-fit, affordable model for motorsport. With the introduction of the #bmw M240i #racing Evo package from the 2019 season, we are responding to strong customer demand. I am pleased that we can now offer our customer teams and also our partners the confidence to plan for two more years and reward them for their loyalty. "
Dunlop has an unparalleled record in endurance #racing. Chosen by champions in the FIA World Endurance Championship, European Le Mans Series and VLN, #dunlop also have supplied more Le Mans 24 hours winners than any other #tire brand.
