Motor Racing Legends is proud to announce that the iconic tyre manufacturer, Goodyear, has expanded its commitment to historic motorsport by becoming the Official Tyre Partner of Motor Racing Legends, as well as the series partner of the prestigious GP Icons grid.

Celebrating ten decades of motorsport, Motor Racing Legends reflects an era-spanning history in which Goodyear has played a defining role. From the golden age of Grand Prix racing, through to the evolution of endurance and touring car competition, Goodyear tyres have powered many of the cars and drivers that shaped the sport. Through its UK race tyre distributor, HP Tyres, this partnership underlines a long-term commitment to the historic racing community.

As the tyre supplier across all 12 Motor Racing Legends series, Goodyear and HP Tyres reaffirm their dedication to supporting competitors at every level of historic racing. The partnership will deliver:

  • Period-appropriate tyre solutions aligned with original specifications
  • Consistent technical support across all Motor Racing Legends events
  • Ongoing development of historic racing tyres that combine authenticity with modern manufacturing quality

The all-new Motor Racing Legends GP Icons series, presented by Goodyear, celebrates legendary Formula 1 machinery from the 3-litre era and stands as a cornerstone of the partnership. It is a natural alignment: many of these cars originally competed on Goodyear tyres in period and can still enjoy racing supported by the same iconic brand.

Commenting on the announcement, Pierre-Antoine Lecoutour, Chief Executive Officer at Motor Racing Legends said: “Goodyear’s name is synonymous with historic motorsport and it feels entirely fitting that Goodyear and Motor Racing Legends should come together in this way, helping to ensure that the spectacle of racing’s greatest eras continues to thrive.”

“Historic motorsport truly sits at the heart of Goodyear’s DNA. We are passionate about preserving the heritage that has defined more than a century of racing, while continuing to write new chapters alongside iconic partners like Motor Racing Legends,” said Alexander Kuehn, Goodyear Customer Racing Manager. “Through this partnership we are proud to keep history alive on track and carry Goodyear’s legacy forward into the future.”

Together, Goodyear, HP Tyres and Motor Racing Legends look forward to a new chapter that honours racing’s past, supports today’s competitors, and inspires future generations.
