, ,

Dmack’s Fredrik Ahlin and co-driver Torstein Eriksen won a sixth consecutive MSA British Rally Championship victory at Carlisle’s Pirelli International Rally. The team maintained their winning run in 2017 by taking a 39.4-second victory over Osian Pryce and Dale Furniss, who made it a Dmack one-two. The result was a debut success for Dmack’s new medium GH43 compound DMG+22 gravel tyre. Four different drivers registered stage wins through the tough Kielder forest complex, all using Dmack tyres. Pirelli runners were successful in the Cadet class for young drivers, taking the top two places.

Pirelli Scorpion family primed to capitalise on 4×4 vehicle growth

Noting that in 2015 SUVs outsold the traditionally popular subcompact and compact segments in Europe for the first time in history, Pirelli says its Scorpion family of tyres is ready to capitalise. The tyre range is designed for sports performance on the road while being able to handle off-road conditions safely. The tread pattern offers increased grip, braking safety and high speed performance. And for those models most akin to regular car performance, Pirelli also offers its ultra-high performance P Zero as a choice for SUV drivers.
