Pirelli Cuts the Mustard With Double Win at Dijon

The sixth round of the International FIA-GT Championship saw double success for Pirelli, with the Maserati MC12, driven by Davies-Biagi, dominating the race. In second and third places came two Aston Martin DBR9s, which were running on Pirelli rubber. In the intensely competitive GT2 category, the Ferrari 430 GTC – also shod with P Zero Racing tyres – led its class from start to finish.

Driver of the winning Maserati, Jamie Davies, praised his tyres, saying: “The new soft tyres that Pirelli Competizioni delivered yesterday really did their job well. Their performance throughout all the driving stints and the wear resistance were Pirelli’s winning cards and made all the difference in our car’s competitiveness.”

The Drivers’ Championship is currently led by another Pirelli-shod Maserati MC12, driven by Bertolini-Bartels and which finished in fifth place at Dijon.
