Pirelli details Scorpion rally tyre allocation for Rally Finland – ‘fastest rally in the world’

Pirelli has announced its tyre allocations for the ninth round of the World Rally Championship season, Rally Finland. In Finland, the prime is the new-generation soft compound Scorpion KX WRC SB, featuring a revised construction that ensures greater durability and resistance compared to its predecessor, while delivering the same level of performance. The option tyre is the hard compound Scorpion KX WRC HB, suitable for more abrasive surfaces and longer stages. Crews can use 28 of the prime and eight of the option tyres. The number of options can be increased to 12, which reduces the number of primes by four.
