The GP3 series is one of the first international formulae to race on the latest track configuration, which features seven new corners. As a result, both the lap length and average speed have been increased.

Pirelli’s hard compound tyres made their debut on the track this year, after the Italian firm used medium compound rubber at the first two GP3 rounds in Barcelona and Istanbul, followed by the soft compound at Valencia.

 The new hard compound Pirelli PZero 13-inch tyre proved to be both fast and reliable at Silverstone despite a wide variety of weather conditions that accurately reflected the vagaries of the British climate.

Saturday’s race was held in dry and warm conditions, with temperatures in the region of 30 degrees centigrade. Esteban Gutierrez dominated the feature race by taking pole position for the second consecutive time and sealing his third win of the season by 3.6 seconds from Rio Haryanto and Nico Muller.

 On Sunday the weather was cloudy and much cooler with temperatures of about 18 degrees centigrade, increasing the time it took to get the hard compound Pirelli tyres up to ideal operating temperature. Daniel Morad took his first GP3 victory, while the crowds enjoyed a huge battle between Mirko Bortolotti and Gutierrez for the remaining podium places. The pair fought hard but fairly, with their Pirelli tyres allowing them both to push to the very limit.

Pirelli’s Racing Manager Mario Isola commented: “We’re very pleased with the debut of our hard compound PZero GP3 tyre at Silverstone, particularly because it performed consistently within a very wide range of conditions. We were privileged to witness some of the best racing we have seen all year, with the battle between Mirko and Esteban forming a special highlight. Interestingly there was a lot of carbon fibre debris on the track this year, which meant that we saw a number of tyres that had suffered deep cuts to the tread pattern. Despite this, the tyres performed perfectly: underlining the reliability as well as the performance of our PZero rubber.”

 At the halfway point of the season Gutierrez leads the championship with 51 points while his ART team mate Alexander Rossi is back up to second on 25 points. The ART squad also leads the teams’ championship.

 The next two races of the eight-round GP3 series take place at the German Grand Prix in Hockenheim from July 24-25. Pirelli was recently confirmed as the exclusive tyre supplier to Formula One next year, along with GP2 and GP3. In this way, future generations of drivers will benefit from a Pirelli-backed ladder of talent designed to take them all the way to the very top of the sport.

Sunday 11 July 2010

Daniel Morad took his first GP3 victory with Pirelli at Silverstone

Borovets is also home to another tough course, the 354.10-kilometre route of Rally Bulgaria, round seven of the 2010 World Rally Championship, of which Pirelli is the exclusive tyre supplier under a three-year agreement with the FIA, motorsport’s world governing body.

Although Borovets is located high up in the Rila mountains, being early July, it’s not surprising to learn that the rally used Tarmac-only runs rather than snow-coated grassy slopes. However, its lofty location means the weather can be unpredictable. During the four-day event, crews experienced bright sunshine, heavy clouds and rain, while ambient temperature variations ranged from eight degrees centigrade to 30-plus at the rally’s permanent service park in Dolna Banya.

It was the threat of unpredictable weather that made the availability of the soft compound Pirelli PZero tyre essential for the competing crews. On gravel events, WRC regulations restrict drivers to a pre-determined compound of Pirelli’s Scorpion tyre. On asphalt events, they can choose between the hard (for dry conditions) or soft (for wet conditions) compound PZero, albeit with a restriction of 40 covers in total. In Bulgaria, they had an allocation of 34 hard compound tyres and 24 soft compound tyres, eight more than usual, following reports of possible thunderstorms.

While the event was held in largely dry conditions, overnight showers and precipitation on Saturday morning’s opening brace of stages forced competitors to choose between the hard and soft compound tyre and dramatically increased the challenge due to the inconsistent stage surfaces.

Both types of compound use an identical tread pattern, designed to provide maximum contact with the road, but the soft version is designed to provide more grip and stability when conditions are cold and damp, while the hard provides optimum performance when the weather is warm and the road surface dry.

Sebastien Loeb, who won the rally to extend his lead of the world championship to 51 points, opted for the soft compound PZero tyre for all of Saturday’s six stages to counter the threat of showers. While it proved a wise move by the factory Citroen C4 driver on Saturday morning, it was less inspired in the afternoon when it remained dry.

“We expected some rain so it was a safety decision because when you have water on the road the soft compound tyre is much better,” said Loeb. “If it’s dry we knew it would not be the best choice but we did not lose too much time because the grip under braking was still good when we used the soft compound tyre on a dry surface, although we could not be so quick through the corners because we have less lateral grip and you have to find a different rhythm for that.”

Sebastien Loeb took his 22nd WRC win on Pirelli tyres in Bulgaria

Loeb’s victory was his 58th at world championship level, the 22nd time he had triumphed in the WRC using Pirelli tyres and his seventh win on asphalt with Pirelli covers.

In the past, Pirelli engineers would have developed a tyre specifically for competition and for different levels of rainfall. But because the FIA specified that the asphalt tyres had to conform to everyday road use regulations, the PZero WRC cover is virtually identical to the tyres available for members of the public, albeit with even stronger sidewalls to combat the threat of punctures. Nevertheless, Loeb was quick to praise the performance of his Pirelli PZero tyres.

“It’s been the perfect rally for me and very good for the championship,” said Loeb. “I am happy with the performance of the tyres and I was surprised that the soft was as good as it was in dry conditions when, for sure, it was not the best choice.”

Rally Bulgaria also marked the debut of Pirelli’s new RX tyre for use by Junior World Rally Championship competitors in place of the old RS design. Using the same technology incorporated into the 18-inch RX tyre, Pirelli has produced 17- and 16-inch versions to give the competitors in the young-driver class more precision, reaction, durability and consistency, particularly on some of the longer stages (the Batak Lake stage run twice on day one measured 31.77 kilometres in length) on the rally route.

Thierry Neuville, who claimed his maiden win in the JWRC class in a Citroen C2 S1600, said: “The tyre was working very well. You had a very good feeling and there is not much difference between how the tyre looked at the start and finish of the long stages. It’s very good work by Pirelli.”

Matteo Braga, Pirelli’s senior WRC tyre engineer, concluded: “We are very satisfied with how this rally has gone for us. It is a new rally and the first round of the WRC on Tarmac this season so there was increased expectation. The teams are now clear about how the soft and hard tyres perform in different conditions and this is very important. Also, Petter Solberg used the same set of tyres on Friday’s stages, which covered 120 kilometres, and this shows the durability of the tyre is very good. We’ve seen no tyre damage or punctures although there were some junior drivers who had problems by cutting corners and hitting rocks, which broke rims rather than the tyre.”

The World Rally Championship resumes in Finland from July 29-31.

La pagani Zonda R a établi un nouveau record sur le circuit de Nordschleife de  Nürburgring couvrant les 20.83 km en 6′47″, en pneus Pirelli P Zero slick (dimension 265/645-19TL, 325/705-20TL).

La Zonda R a battu un record établi il y a quelques mois par une autre supercar extrême dotée de pneus de concurrents.

Le record a été rendu possible par les pneus Pirelli P Zero Slick fabriqués à partir de solutions, profils et matériaux typiques à la production sport automobile de Pirelli, assurant un excellent grip sur l’asphalte et capables de transférer  toute la puissance de la voiture au sol. Conçus exclusivement par Pirelli pour la supercar construite à Modene, les pneus Pirelli P Zero slick ont été fabriqués à Milan sur la nouvelle ligne de production Mirs, le processus de fabrication innovant et robotisé breveté par Pirelli, couvrant le cycle complet de fabrication des composants jusqu’au produit fini, sans interruption ou gaspillage d’énergie. Le process Mirs est représentatif de l’excellence de Pirelli en matière de technologie et se concentre sur la production de pneus « Ultra Haute Performance » et compétition.

Les autres facteurs qui ont contribué au grip haute-performance peuvent être liés à une  réduction de 200 kg du poids de la Zonda R comparé à la version routière, à son châssis en carbone-titane, à des suspensions plus légères, un centre de gravité bas, une réduction importante de l’inertie et un excellent poids aérodynamique.

As well as supplying Formula One with tyres next year, Pirelli will also supply GP2 and continues to supply GP3: ensuring a ladder of talent that will enable youngsters to progress their careers all the way to the top, with the help of Pirelli.

The first step of that ladder is the GP3 series: newly-created this year as a feeder formula to GP2, which is now recognised as the established route to Formula One. The 30 identical cars all use 280-horsepower Renault engines and the same tyres, putting the emphasis firmly on driving talent.

Six closely-fought races at Grand Prix weekends in Barcelona, Istanbul and Valencia have proved that the concept works, allowing the most influential people in motorsport the opportunity to see up-and-coming talents compete against each other in a thrilling battle for supremacy.

At Silverstone this weekend, the GP3 drivers will use the new hard-compound PZero 13-inch tyre for the first time. On the opening two rounds, the medium compound tyre was used, while the soft compound made its debut in Valencia. Nonetheless, conditions in Silverstone will be somewhat different to anywhere else. The British track, which is one of the oldest permanent circuits on the Grand Prix calendar, has just undergone extensive redevelopment with a new section added to the infield that increases the lap length to 5.9 kilometres.

This means that the tyres will have to deal with new asphalt and a configuration that nobody is familiar with, while performing well at the sustained high speeds that Silverstone is famous for. The British weather, which is renowned the world over for its unpredictability, is also likely to be an important factor governing the use that the drivers make of their tyres.

Pirelli’s Racing Manager, Mario Isola, comments: “Working as always in close collaboration with the GP3 series organisers, we identified Silverstone as the right place for our hard-compound GP3 tyres to make their debut at the start of the year, and we are looking forward to seeing them out on the new Silverstone circuit. The demands placed on the tyres are very high there, but we are confident that we have a product that will cope very well with the challenge. Of course we are constantly evolving the tyre design, so if we see at the end of the weekend that there is not enough wear, we can certainly adjust the hard compound in future. But there are so many other factors at work at this very famous circuit that it is hard to predict exactly what is going to happen over what is sure to be another extremely exciting weekend!”

After the opening six races of the season, Mexico’s Esteban Gutierrez leads the GP3 series from Canadian Robert Wickens and America’s Alex Rossi. ART Grand Prix leads the teams’ championship ahead of Manor Racing.

 Practice in Great Britain takes place from 16:50 on Friday 9 July. Qualifying begins at 08:45 on Saturday morning, followed by race one at 16:20. Race two starts at 08:30 on Sunday, with both races lasting half an hour or 17 laps.

Monday 5 July 2010

British weather is famously changeable: will it be wet or dry at Silverstone?

The first two rounds of the inaugural GP3 series in Barcelona and Istanbul made use of Pirelli’s medium compound tyre, which proved to be extremely versatile in a wide range of conditions. Now Pirelli’s new 13-inch soft compound tyre makes its debut on the Valencia street circuit this weekend: the home of the European Grand Prix.

The new GP3 series, with each Renault-engined car putting out 280 horsepower, is designed as a stepping-stone to GP2: the acknowledged route to Formula One. Thanks to a calendar made up exclusively of Grand Prix weekends, the young drivers taking part in GP3 have the chance to display their talents in front of some of the most influential people in motorsport, with the help of Pirelli’s tyres.

For the first time, Pirelli will use the soft-compound tyre in competition this weekend, which has been carefully developed in a test programme involving Renault Formula One driver Vitaly Petrov. The GP3 drivers all took part in a two-day test last week at the nearby Valencia circuit, a permanent facility, using the medium compound tyres already seen in Barcelona and Istanbul.

However, this weekend’s race will take place on the spectacular 5.41-kilometre Valencia street circuit, which was first used in 2008 and is a very different proposition. The track runs through the breathtaking Arts and Sciences area, characterised by the cutting-edge architecture of local man Santiago Calatrava, which includes a stunning 140-metre long swing bridge.

The new soft-compound Pirelli tyres are designed to deliver optimal performance but also to deliberately degrade, in order to teach the young drivers how to look after their rubber: a vital skill that they will need to carefully cultivate for their future careers. The demands of a street circuit are somewhat different to the requirements of a permanent track as the grip can be more variable – thanks to street furniture such as painted white lines and manhole covers – and the surfaces are more aggressive. For a street circuit Valencia is also very quick, with the Formula One cars topping out at a maximum speed of around 323kph, in between the 25 corners. Conditions should normally be dry and warm, but there was some rain during the test last week.

As Pirelli’s Racing Manager Mario Isola explains, these unique challenges can only benefit both Pirelli and the young drivers taking part in the GP3 series. “Valencia is a great circuit but it is not at all easy for the cars, drivers and tyres,” commented Isola. “The first time that the drivers will try our soft compound tyres will be during practice on Friday, and I think that they will notice quite a difference from the tyres they have used on the previous two rounds. Following our brief from the series organisers we have made the tyres degrade more, but they will also provide more performance early on in the race. These are the tyre characteristics that the drivers will increasingly experience as their careers advance up the motorsport ladder, so it’s great to get them used to looking after their tyres from a young age.”

After the opening four races of the season, Mexico’s Esteban Gutierrez leads the GP3 series from American Alexander Rossi and Canada’s Robert Wickens. ART Grand Prix leads the teams’ championship ahead of Jenzer Motorsport.

Practice in Spain takes place from 16:50 on Friday 25 June. Qualifying begins at 08:45 on Saturday morning, followed by race one at 17:20. Race two starts at 09:25 on Sunday, with both races lasting half an hour.

LA CAMPAGNE PIRELLI

“ La Sécurité n’est pas un jeu”

Pirelli lance à compter du 15 Juin 2010 une campagne de communication bi-média en partenariat avec le sextuple Champion du monde des rallyes, Sébastien Loeb, afin de sensibiliser les conducteurs à plus de sécurité et d’écologie.

Incarnée par  Sébastien Loeb qui s’associe une nouvelle fois à la marque italienne pour sensibiliser les vacanciers à plus de sécurité et d’écologie, la campagne Pirelli, lancée en partenariat avec Playstation, est relayée en Radio, sur Europe 1, RTL, RMC et RTL 2, et sur le web, notamment sur Yahoo !autos et Caradisiac.

C’est grâce à cette exigence technologique que l’on peut aujourd’hui opter pour une conduite plaisir mais responsable. C’est cette caution qu’endosse Sébastien Loeb en tant que partenaire de Pirelli en rallye comme sur la route.

Sébastien Loeb, partenaire Pirelli engagé pour la Green Performance, a déclaré : « J’ai pu tester en situation extrême  la fiabilité des gammes P Zero, Scorpion et Sottozero  qui ont particulièrement bien marché en WRC depuis que Pirelli est fournisseur exclusif du championnat. Si la victoire peut être un jeu, lors des départs en vacances, il est important de rappeler que la sécurité ne l’est pas. Etant  également partenaire de PlayStation, cette opération permet de sensibiliser en douceur les conducteurs en véhiculant un message simple et ludique.  Gagner en économie d’énergie et en longévité avec ses pneus c’est bien, surtout dans le contexte actuel, mais sans faire de compromis avec la performance et la sécurité. La gamme Green Performance™ de Pirelli a réussi cette prouesse et à la veille des grands départs en vacances, c’est bon que je m’y associe pour le rappeler».

Pour Rémy Quentin, Directeur général de Pirelli France, « Bien préparer ses vacances c’est aussi bien s’équiper. On pense à sa destination mais pense-t-on à ses pneumatiques afin qu’ils nous y emmènent en toute sérénité? Chez Pirelli, notre engagement en compétition, témoigne de notre volonté de soumettre nos pneus à des conditions extrêmes, assurant une sécurité maximum à l’ensemble de nos clients sur route. Cette campagne à l’approche des grands départs permet de faire passer un message sérieux avec légèreté et humour. »

The Italian tyre company returns to single-seater racing for the first time since 1991 at the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend, while it submits a tender to supply Formula One from next season.

Pirelli will begin its association with the all-new GP3 Series when it gets underway in Barcelona this weekend (7-9 May).

The Italian company has been appointed as the official tyre supplier to the one-make single-seater series, which has been pitched as a stepping-stone to GP2, a direct feeder category to Formula One.

Designed as a training formula for young and aspiring drivers, the series is made up of nine race weekends, each consisting of a practice and a qualifying session and two races in an effort to maximise track time for the drivers and accelerate their learning.

Pirelli was chosen by the FIA to supply the control tyre for this crucial new series because of the company’s proven ability to contain costs while maintaining a high level of technology to further the best interests of competition.

Eight of the nine rounds support Formula One Grands Prix, starting with the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Catalunya this weekend and ending with the Italian Grand Prix at the legendary Monza circuit near Milan, where Pirelli houses its global headquarters. The calendar will give the drivers a chance to compete in a high-profile environment and demonstrate their skills to watching team managers from GP2 and Formula One.

Pirelli has designed and developed a racing tyre specifically for the Dallara-built GP3 Series car. With a two-litre, turbocharged engine developed by Renault’s F1 arm putting out 280bhp, the tyre will be subjected to extreme stresses and strains throughout a race weekend. Pirelli has an established tradition of breaking new technological ground in the development and design of its Ultra High Performance road car products, so the lessons learned from this have been incorporated into the new GP3 series tyre.

Drivers are allocated three sets of dry weather tyres and two sets of wet weather tyres per event. Championship regulations prevent any modifications from being made to the tyres and their use is strictly policed by series officials to ensure a level playing field.

Although Pirelli prides itself in designing and manufacturing durable tyres, the brief from GP3 Series bosses specified that each tyre should experience a degree of degradation to help the drivers’ education process but also to spice up the on-track action.

A full grid of 30 drivers is set to contest the inaugural GP3 Series season-opener in Spain, while the teams that have registered for the championship include the MW Arden outfit, which is partly owned by Red Bull F1 driver Mark Webber.

“We are delighted to be the official tyre supplier to the inaugural GP3 Series,” said Pirelli’s Motorsport Director Paul Hembery. “Pirelli has a long and proud association with single-seater racing at a variety of levels all the way up to Formula One and we very excited to be helping young drivers develop their skills at a crucial stage in their careers.”

Hembery added: “As the official tyre supplier to the World Rally Championship, Pirelli is well versed in meeting the demands required by high-profile motorsport disciplines and providing an exceptional product and level of service. Our approach to the GP3 Series will be no different and this forms vital experience for us as we submit our tender for tyre supply to Formula One from next season onwards. Competition is in our company DNA, so we believe that a control tyre supply is by no means incompatible with an exciting sporting spectacle. But it’s also worth pointing out that our first sporting engagement this year with open tyre competition, the Monte Carlo Rally in January, resulted in a great victory for us. Pirelli is capable of rising to every challenge.”

Pirelli recently announced its intention to tender for the Formula One tyre supply contract from 2011 onwards. The Italian firm’s last involvement in Formula One ended at the end of the 1991 season, following a victory for Nelson Piquet’s Benetton-Ford at the Canadian Grand Prix.
