Pirelli takes on 24h of Nürburgring – ‘valuable opportunity to test our technology’

Pirelli is supplying tyres to entries in six different classes at the ADAC Ravenol 24h Nürburgring. Describing the event as “one of the most important” in motorsport, Pirelli’s partners include the Porsche 911 GT3 R entered by the Italian Dinamic GT team in the blue riband SP9 category (FIA-GT3) from which the overall winner will emerge. The #54 (PRO) will run the latest generation Hard, Medium and Soft compound Pirelli P Zero and if it rains, it can rely on the Cinturato Hard and Soft, for heavy rain or a drying track respectively. Pirelli said the event presents “an opportunity… to put to the test [its] entire range of GT and Turismo tyres, designed to suit the characteristics of all the different types of car taking part.” The race famously features highly variable weather conditions over the course of the combined Nordschleife and GP-Strecke’s 25.378km.
