The American-Canadian Tour (ACT) has confirmed that it has sanctioned the use of new Hoosier Tyres, particular race tracks.
The ACT models will run on new Hoosier 8-inch tyres designed specifically for the race series. Hoosier Tyres has stated that the new tyre has been designed and built through an extensive testing process. They added that the new tyres will be reliable and will has durability.
The new tyre will cost $130 (Rs.9,506.78) which is the same price as the 8-inch tyre which was used in this class for quite some time now.
“We think this is the start of a great partnership,” ACT managing partner Cris Michaud said. “Rob Summers has been a pleasure to work with. He understood exactly what we were looking for in a tyre and has worked tirelessly to create a tyre that fit those requirements. We believe this switch will be a benefit to our teams and help produce great racing for the fans. We’re looking forward to seeing how they react at Thunder Road’s opening weekend on May 1 and 2.”
