Sport Maxx Tyres Help Hollamby in Time Attack
Dunlop Sport Maxx Cup driver Shaun Hollamby, took on one of the most breathtaking circuit phenomenons of the year performing in the Time Attack at Circuit Park Zandvoort, Holland. Time Attack is said to be the next ‘big thing’ in automotive lifestyle and brings full throttle excitement to the track. It puts drivers under pressure with one lap against the clock.
Street legal cars are let loose on tracks across Europe to achieve the fastest lap possible and the best from each track meet in the final later in the year. Shaun Hollamby, a race winner, in the Dunlop Sport Maxx Cup was invited to race Milltek’s Audi R8 at the legendary race circuit in Holland. The R8 proved to be quite a different experience from Shaun’s usual winning car the Sport SEAT Leon Cupra 2.0T. Only the Sport Maxx tyres were the common element to the two cars.
The Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tyres fitted to the car performed outstandingly, gripping to the track and standing up to Shaun’s punishment, finishing in a top five spot. The car competed against 800bhp Nissan Skylines and many other high performance cars.
“Thanks to Dunlop for fitting the R8 with GT tyres, Dunlop has once again proved that their tyres can perform against the clock. It was an enduring lap at the 2.6 mile Zandvoort track with its fast, sweeping corners and demanding layout. We are already thinking about next year’s Time Attack events and look forward to competing on Dunlop once again!” commented Shaun.
