Following the agreement signed last year, Vredestein is again the official tyre partner and main sponsor of the world-renowned Mille Miglia (1000 Miglia) rally currently taking place in Italy. The event has in turn provided the backdrop for the announcement of a new partnership between Vredestein and former Formula One racer Jochen Mass.
The recently-announced partnership between the Vredestein tyre brand and the Mille Miglia classic car rally has led to the creation of a new, limited edition tyre, the Sprint Classic. The size 165 HR 15 tyre features the Mille Miglia logo on the sidewall, and was unveiled, fitted to a Porsche 356 pre-A, at the Techno Classica car show in Germany yesterday.
Vredestein is a tyre brand with a pedigree stretching back to 1909, and with a range including products designed with vintage cars in mind, such as the Sprint Classic, Snow Classic, Grip Classic and Transport Classic, it sees itself having much in common with the Mille Miglia classic car rally. This affinity is now an official connection, as the two parties have entered into a sponsorship agreement covering the period from 2017 to 2019.
