Kumho On Top at Jim Clark Rally

Kumho notched up another rally success at the Jim Clark event held on the weekend of May 23-25. The rally, which Kumho describes as effectively being five events in one, ended with the first four places in the National event held by Kumho shod vehicles. Finishing in the top four spots were:

David Kynaston/Andy Russell (Audi A3 Quattro)
Andy Fenwick/Lee Tindall (Skoda Octavia WRC)
David Mann/Alun Cook (Subaru Impreza WRC)
Alistair Thorburn/Paul McGuire (Subaru Impreza)

Andy Fenwick and Lee Tindall, who returned to the Kumho fold this year after a season on rival rubber, were also the outright victors of the Reivers event.

“This was another very impressive result for us,” commented Kumho’s European motorsport manager, Steve Thompson. “Apart from one brief shower, the surface was cool and dry though, as always, quite polished and lacking in grip. Our C03 dry tarmac tyre suited the conditions and worked well for all our runners.”

Kumho adds that the company is enjoying increasing success around the globe in all types of motorsport, the experience and knowledge it gains from this is fed directly into its ultra competitive range of high performance road tyres.
