Dunlop is to remain Official Tyre Partner of the TT and has extended the agreement to include sponsorship of the Classic TT. The decision follows the tyre manufacturer’s success at the 2014 Isle of Man TT races and “underlines its commitment to motorsport on two and four wheels”.
A company spokesman said: “Dunlop has had unprecedented success at the Isle of Man TT and at the 2014 TT Races took 13 out of a possible 15 podium places in the Superbike, Superstock and Supersport classes. At the Classic TT, Bruce Anstey claimed first place in the esteemed race on a Dunlop-shod Grand Prix YZR500 Yamaha.”
The Classic TT Races take place between 29 and 31August as part of the the Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling, with three races over the famous 37-mile TT Mountain circuit, the VMCC Festival of Jurby, a stunning Parade Lap and additional activity including exhibitions of racing motorcycles, legendary rider autograph sessions and a paddock carnival.
