Racing Towards Success

Although some fans – you know who you are – watch motorsport events largely in hope of seeing a hapless competitor come a cropper with a satisfying metallic crunch, such competition benefits the tyre world in numerous ways. Not only does motor racing act as a “high speed laboratory” in which innovations that will later benefit mass market tyres are initially tweaked and tested, the exposure gained through the various flavours of motorsport does manufacturers no harm at all, as Bridgestone can testify. In November Tyres & Accessories gets dons its racing slicks and gets revved up for its annual motorsport feature; join us trackside for all the latest.

Pride of the Fleet

The car and heavy vehicle fleet business is a heavily contested market sector, with leading industry names vying for contracts that in some instances involve tyre supply and service arrangements for thousands of vehicles. Done properly, a fleet contract can be a win-win arrangement for both fleet operator and service provider. Next month’s fleet business feature examines this aspect of the tyre industry and gives you a head-up on the latest news.

Going Up?

Garages and fast fit operators are dependant on quality equipment in order to optimise the efficiency and quality of the job they offer.

November’s Tyres & Accessories provides the latest information on one specialised aspect of the equipment business, lifting equipment. Elevate your knowledge on this topic with us.
