Pirelli to Sponsor ANCRO and MSA Gravel Rally

Pirelli Tyres will be title sponsor of ANCRO and the next MSA Gravel Rally Championship. As a result of the agreement, the series will be renamed the Pirelli MSA National Gravel Rally Championship. “In 2008 we will introduce a control tyre to all cars running within the Group N category. In line with the developments we have been working on in 2007 we hope to introduce our eco-tyre to all categories in 2009,” commented Martin Pallot Motorsport & Events Manager, Pirelli Tyres Ltd

“This is the dawn of a new era for ANCRO and the MSA Gravel Rally Championship. We are delighted to be working with such a powerful brand that is committed to developing partnerships within rallying. We see the introduction of the control tyre as a stepping stone for the future, mindful that we need to move forward providing sustainability, value and quality,” John Trevethick, chairman ANCRO.
