A LOOK FORWARD to the SEASON AHEAD Dunlop Takes on the World P6 INISSUE TOUCH20 MOTORSPORT NEWS EXCLUSIVE MOTO3 READY TO GO! P 19 & 20 A LOOK FORWARD TO THE SEASON AHEAD DUNLOP TAKES ON THE WORLD P6 MARCH 2012 MOTORSPORT DUnlop’S SUPER 2011 ON TWO WHEELS… 2011 saw Dunlop achieve worldwide motorcycle success across the full spectrum of racing surfaces. From state-of-the-art asphalt on the grand prix racing calendar, to the bumpy public roads of the legendary Isle of Man TT, the manicured stadium dirt of AMA Supercross and the ever-changing terrain of a Motocross GP - Dunlop won on them all. The final season of the 125cc World Championship, an open-tyre class long dominated by Dunlop, ended with Nico Terol crowned champion, while Dunlop’s run of consecutive race wins reached 133. 125GP had existed since 1949, but there was little time to reflect as Dunlop’s attention turned to its role as exclusive tyre supplier for the replacement Moto3 class. Dunlop’s deal as single supplier for Moto2 entered its second season in 2011, when young German Stefan Bradl took the title after a season that saw Dunlop balance increased tyre performance with continued equality. Lap records were broken at twelve of the 17 circuits, while 16 different riders and seven different motorcycles claimed a podium finish. At June’s Isle of Man TT races, Dunlop riders took four wins around the fearsome 60.72 km mountain course, headlined by victories for John McGuinness (Honda) in the prestigious Superbike and Senior TTs. Bruce Anstey (Honda) and Michael Dunlop (Kawasaki) took their Dunlop tyres to the top in the Supersport and Superstock TTs respectively. Open tyre competition exists throughout the German IDM Championships, where Dunlop emerged victorious in all three solo classes. The perfect sweep was headed by KTM’s Martin Bauer in the premier Superbike category. Dunlop-Yamaha rider Jesco Günther clinched the Supersport title, while Australian Jack Miller (Aprilia) took the honours in the hotly contested 125cc class. In the 2011 Alpe Adria Championships, Dunlop riders won five out of the six classes: SBK (Andreas Meklau), STK1000 (Martin Choy), STK600 (Lukas Jasensky), 125GP (Julian Mayer) and 125SP (Stefano Schillaci). Off-road, Dunlop made a triumphant return to the FIM Motocross World Championship with seven podiums, including one victory, during the 2011 MX1 season. Honda team-mates Evgeny Bobryshev and Rui Gonçalves led the Dunlop challenge, finishing fourth and sixth in the standings after a year in which both riders proved themselves to be potential future champions. In the glamorous world of the AMA FIM World Supercross Championship, Dunlop competitors Ryan Villopoto (450 class), Broc Tickle (250 lites West class) and Justin Barcia (250 lites East class) swept to title victory. Over in AMA racing, Dunlop extended its exclusive contract during 2011, a season that saw Josh Hayes (Superbike), Danny Eslick (Sportbike) and James Rispoli (Supersport) crowned champions. 01 MARCH 2012 motorsport.dunlop.eu motorsport.dunlop.eu MARCH 2012 02 AND FOUR...

  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".

    PRODUCT RANGE 20142014 CONTENTS The Origin and History of Dunlop 1 Discover our Digital World 2 Corporate Overview 4 General Information 6 Passenger Range 8 SUV and 4x4 Range 29 Light Truck Range 44 Truck & Bus Range 52 Safety Information 66 2 THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF 1887 A Scotsman had no idea that child’s play would help revolutionise transport as we know it and lay the foundations for one of the world’s most iconic brands and a major manufacturing company. John Boyd Dunlop’s son complained that his solid tyre tricycle was uncomfortable and jarred as he rode along the stony streets on his way to school. John Boyd came up with the idea to wrap a rubber tyre inflated with air round the rims of his son’s tricycle and tested it by rolling it along the floor. The pneumatic tyre went much further compared to the solid tyre. John Boyd Dunlop had made history! 1888 Dunlop knew that his invention had endless potential and commercial possibilities. He patented his ‘chamber of rubber or other suitable material to contain air under pressure or otherwise, fastened to the rim by the most convenient method’ or, as we’ve come to know it, the tyre. In the years following this revolutionary invention, Dunlop has gone on to celebrate a dazzling history of performance innovation, motorsport achievements and technological advancements. 1890 Dunlop opened its first tyre plant in Dublin. 1924 Dunlop and Bentley achieve their first victory at Le Mans, the Grand Prix of Endurance. 1935 Dunlop officially opens its first tyre factory in Durban and manufactures the first car tyre in South Africa.

They were followed across the line by the sister number 12 Rebellion R-One-AER and the ByKolles CLM P1/01-AER which had a more troubled race. Attention was also on the three Aston Martin Racing Vantages competing in the LMGTE Pro and Am classes having also switched to Dunlop tyres for 2016. The number 95 car finished third in the ‘Pro’ class while the number 98 took the second step of the podium in ‘Am’.
