Yokohama new tyre supplier for DTC

Yokohama is going to supply tyres for the Danish Touring Car Championship in 2010. This is a first step for the Danish series ahead of the merger with STCC to a Scandinavian Touring Car Championship.
“This is an important condition for our future plans for the championship as we are merging with the Swedish series,” said series promotor Peter Elgaard.

The Swedish series changed from Michelin to Yokohama ahead of the 2009 season.

“The STCC series switched to Yokohama tyres for the 2009 season, and with the same type of tyres on both the DTC and STCC cars we can look forward to some exciting common races, where we will be guaranteed a common game field,” said Elgaard.

This makes BTCC alone on Dunlop tyres of the major S2000 touring car series around the world.
