Motorsport and motorcycle action
With Dunlop’s rich global history in motorsport, the brand has been the tyre of choice for a number of major motorsport events, giving racing drivers the ultimate in peace of mind, quality, safety and performance. Expect to see plenty of performance vehicles shod with Dunlop tyres at the Festival of Motoring.
The brand will have a full array of its tyres on display, including passenger, SUV and 4x4, light truck, and motorcycle tyres. Dunlop is renowned for premium ranges such as Dunlop Grandtrek – a comprehensive selection of SUV and 4x4 tyres for both on-an-off road terrain – as well as the Dunlop SP SPORT MAXX range of Ultra-High Performance tyres, which offers the perfect replacement tyre for most modern high-performance sports cars, coupés, sedans, SUVs and crossovers.
Leading car manufacturers will showcase their vehicles across multiple tracks, including the main circuit, the self-handling track, and the challenging 4x4 course, giving festival goers a chance to go on an adrenaline pumping track drive with professional driving instructors around the Kyalami race track.
