Supercars continue to stick with Dunlop as the series Official Control Tyre. Dunlop Tyres are the exclusive tyre of the Repco Supercars Championship and the Dunlop Series, which combines the Super2 and Super3 categories.
Dunlop will provide approximately 14,000 Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres in four specifications tailored to different track surfaces and race formats to ensure competitive and exciting Supercars racing.
The four specifications are Soft, SuperSoft, Hard and a wet-weather tyre.
Dunlop played a pivotal role in supporting the development of the new generation of Supercars by tailoring the range of Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. As Supercars now weigh less, 8 of the 12 rounds will be on Soft compound tyres, removing the requirement of Hard compound tyres.
A new compound wet tyre is also being introduced to better suit the lighter construction of the new Supercars and will provide increased grip in wet conditions.
Kevin Fitzsimons and the Dunlop Motorsport Operations team are an integral part of the Supercars paddock. They join with race teams to travel around Australia providing on-track tyre fitting/stripping of tyres at each Supercars event, delivering unparalleled service, expertise and support to race teams.
Dunlop is synonymous with industry-leading innovation in motorsport tyres and are immensely proud of their heritage in supporting and developing motorsport talent from grass-root categories through to the Supercars Championship.
