  • Issue 91 December 2012 AED 25
    Issue 91 December 2012 AED 25 1 On a High Note 2012 started off with a bang, with the glorious, 30th Anniversary of the Tokyo Auto Salon ushering in an exciting new year and promising lots of tuning contents in the coming months. And that was exactly the case as 2012 unfolded, we were over- whelmed by the sheer number of quality tuner and high-performance rides we’ve worked on this year. The most exotic cover story of the year is, without a doubt, the feature of the Rauh Welt Begriff 993 built in Dubai by the legendary Nakai-san himself. Props to Crank & Piston for the materials! Following that, many other hot tuner cars graced the pages of Top Performance, including those from HKS, Manhart Racing, Switzer, TRD, Classic Recreations, Techart, Roush, Vorsteiner, Kahn Design and the list goes on. Combining the best in local projects and international stories, we strived to provide interesting content and catering to a variety of interests. Same goes for the high-performance and exotic car test drives; we’ve had an awe- some lineup that included the McLaren MP4-12C, the new Nissan GT-R, the BMW M5, Camaro ZL1, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi S8, Toyota 86, several Bentleys, Porsches and Mercedes-AMG models. The year was truly filled with memorable drives and race track experiences, definitely one to be remembered. [email protected] And, as gloriously as it had started, 2012 is ending for us on a high note, with one of the best months we’ve had in a long time.

  • Yokohama Rubber's Support for Motorsports in 2021
    March 24, 2021 Contact: For immediate release Corporate Planning Department Corporate Communications Section Phone: 81-3-5400-4531 Fax: 81-3-5400-4570 Yokohama Rubber’s Support for Motorsports in 2021 Tokyo—The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., today announced its plans for supporting motorsports events in 2021. The consumer tire strategy in our recently announced new medium-term management plan, Yokohama Transformation 2023 (YX2023), aims to maximize the sales ratios of high-value-added YOKOHAMA tire brands, namely the global flagship ADVAN brand, the GEOLANDAR brand of tires for SUVs and pickup trucks, and various winter tires. YX2023 positions participation in motorsports activities as crucial to our effort to develop new tire technologies that will further strengthen the ADVAN and GEOLANDAR brands. Yokohama Rubber therefore will again participate in a wide variety of motorsports events in Japan and around the globe, from top-category races to grassroots races. Event reports and results will be posted on Yokohama Rubber’s motorsports website as well various SNS specializing in motorsports topics. This release briefly introduces some of the main events Yokohama Rubber will be participating in this year. ■ GT/Touring Car Races <SUPER GT> SUPER GT races are contested in two classes, GT500 and GT300. GT500 is dominated by works teams from major automakers while GT300 teams tend to be more varied and individualistic. GT500 machines must meet certain specifications. GT300 races, however, are open to a variety of cars made in Japan and overseas. The GT300 machines can broadly be divided into three types: (1) automakers’ production cars that meet the international FIA GT3 specifications, (2) unique JAF-GT machines, and (3) the so-called “Mother Chassis" group of machines.

  • Yokohama Rubber's Support for Motor Sports in 2015
    March 3, 2015 Contact: For immediate release Corporate Communications Dept. Phone: 81-3-5400-4531 Fax: 81-3-5400-4570 Yokohama Rubber's Support for Motor Sports in 2015 Tokyo – The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., today announced its plans for supporting motor sports events in 2015. Support for motor sports events in Japan and overseas is a key component of Yokohama Rubber’s efforts to develop and improve tire technology. The Company’s sponsorship of motor sports not only contributes to the globalization of its tire business and greater recognition of the YOKOHAMA tire brand but also helps to promote the growth, development and revitalization of motor sports market and the automobile industry as a whole. YOKOHAMA looks forward to participating in many events this year. A brief summary of the main events follows. ■FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) YOKOHAMA has been the FIA WTCC’s official tire supplier since 2006. Since 2010, the Company has supplied the WTCC with its YOKOHAMA ADVAN racing tires, which use the Company’s proprietary orange oil compounding technology to enhance environmental performance while maintaining superior grip performance. Yokohama Rubber is pleased be supplying tires to the WTCC for the 10th consecutive year in 2015. In 2014, regulations for participating cars were changed, allowing the use of more powerful engines and larger aerodynamic parts, which contributes to faster speeds. As a result, the racing cars are now using 18-inch tires with larger overall width, outer WTCC （2014 ） diameter, and inner diameter. This year’s WTCC series will include 12 rounds and 24 races, with the first race to be held in Argentina on March 6‒8 and subsequent rounds in Europe, Africa, South America and Asia.
