Dunlop join Isle of Man TT Races

From the Isle of Man TT

The Department of Economic Development has confirmed that tire manufacturer Dunlop, a name inextricably linked with the Isle of Man TT Races, will be the 'Official Tyre Partner' for the 2011 TT Races, fuelled by Monster Energy.

The company has had unrivalled success at the Isle of Man with many of the greatest names in TT history recording victories using Dunlop tires. All of the solo TT races in the last two years were won by riders using Dunlop tires including Ian Hutchinson's record breaking five victories in 2010 and Steve Plater's race winning performance in 2009 that included the new Senior TT Race record.

Iconic names from the past who used Dunlop tires at the TT Races include 'Rocket' Ron Haslam, Roger Marshall, Mick Grant, Roger Burnett and Joey Dunlop.

"Dunlop is delighted to become the Official Tyre Partner of the TT Races," said Eddy Geerdink, Dunlop Marketing Manager. "The Mountain Course is one of the world's toughest circuits and our success in the event over the years has provided us with excellent recognition for the performance and technology of our tires."
