“Pirelli
is heavily involved with rallying within the
UK
and already we are proud to hold control tyre supply status to the British
Rally Championship. Now we will be title sponsor of the 2008
MSA
Gravel Rally Championship where we will introduce a control tyre to the
Group N category. In line with the developments we have been working on in
2007 we hope to introduce our eco-tyre as the control tyre to all
categories in 2009”

“This
is the dawn of a new era for ANCRO and the MSA
Gravel Rally Championship. We are delighted to be working with such a
powerful brand that is committed to developing partnerships within
rallying. We see the introduction of the control tyre as a stepping stone
for the future, mindful that we need to move forward providing
sustainability, value and quality.
