Pirelli extended its contract today with Infront Motor Sports to supply tires for the World Superbike series until 2015. Pirelli's old contract would have expired in 2013, but the two companies agreed to extend their relationship for a few more years.
Pirelli, as they have already been doing, will also supply tires for the World Supersport series, the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup and the UEM Superstock 600 European Championship.
"We are delighted to be able to renew the contract with Pirelli until the completion of the 2015 season," said Paolo Flammini, CEO of Infront Motor Sports. "Once again we can count on a tire supplier, whose commitment to the product, service and development is second to none. The presence of 7 manufacturers in World Superbike and full grids in all four classes requires a supplier who can guarantee total excellence from all points of view, and Pirelli have fully respected those guarantees, providing stability to the championships and contributing enormously to their success. We would like to thank them for their commitment and support and look forward once again to a long-term future together."
Pirelli has been supplying tires for the World Superbike series for the last 8 years, and Pirelli is looking forward to keep the sport growing in the future.
"Pirelli is very happy to be chosen again as Official Tire Supplier to World Superbike, the production-based world racing series which remains close to passionate fans. Our Diablo tires' performance and quality were key elements in helping Infront to again select us," said Uberto Thun, Managing Director, Motorcycle Division for Pirelli Tire. "This new contract confirms our dedication to WSBK, to the sport's competitiveness, and to a flexible but continued tire development guaranteeing the best racing tires are made available."
