Pirelli has completed its GT World Championship group test at Le Castellet’s Paul Ricard circuit, with a rain flooded track on day one and weak sunshine over a mostly dry track on the second. The test featured the new P Zero DHH tyres for dry conditions and the Cinturato WHB for the wet, all tested by the 57 GT cars in the Prologue. Collectively the cars completed 10,320 laps, equivalent to over 57,000 kilometres, from which Pirelli engineers, working from a mobile laboratory trackside, acquired an impressive amount of data.

Pirelli takes on 24h of Nürburgring – ‘valuable opportunity to test our technology’

Pirelli is supplying tyres to entries in six different classes at the ADAC Ravenol 24h Nürburgring. Describing the event as “one of the most important” in motorsport, Pirelli’s partners include the Porsche 911 GT3 R entered by the Italian Dinamic GT team in the blue riband SP9 category (FIA-GT3) from which the overall winner will emerge. The #54 (PRO) will run the latest generation Hard, Medium and Soft compound Pirelli P Zero and if it rains, it can rely on the Cinturato Hard and Soft, for heavy rain or a drying track respectively. Pirelli said the event presents “an opportunity… to put to the test [its] entire range of GT and Turismo tyres, designed to suit the characteristics of all the different types of car taking part.” The race famously features highly variable weather conditions over the course of the combined Nordschleife and GP-Strecke’s 25.378km.

Pirelli F1 tyres are FSC certified, demonstrating boosted sustainability

,
Pirelli

Pirelli’s 2024 Formula 1 tyre range has become the first to be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), with all the P Zero and Cinturato tyres carrying the FSC logo on the sidewall. The marking certifies that all the natural rubber used in the tyre complies with stringent environmental and social criteria required by the global non-governmental organisation for sustainable forestry. The new certification was announced on 10 October when Pirelli renewed its agreement as the Global Tyre Partner of Formula 1 until at least 2027. Pirelli said the new FSC certified tyres were introduced after an intense development programme that began in 2022. It adds that the tyres are improved in terms of reliability and performance. On average the tyres in the Pirelli F1 range contain natural rubber equating to 15 per cent of the tyre’s weight.
