The track is always the ulti- mate testing ground for tyres, as it provides an excellent opportunity for our tyres to be tested under extreme conditions. The tech- nologies that we have gained from motor- sports can be applied to commercial tyre development and production, which allows us to supply much safer tyres for our cus- tomers,” said Mark Zhu Min, Manager of Motorsport Team in Giti Tire.
He pointed out that racing drivers who have chosen to use Giti’s products have obtained good results in motorsport racing. This not only proves the excellent quality of Giti’s prod-ucts but also the research and development capabilities that the company puts into its tyres.
“Motorsport is the best platform for Giti Tire to improve its brand image. As racing cars have always had a higher demand on tyre parameters, motorsport tyres, in particular, have to demonstrate extreme performance in safety, handling and endurance. Giti Tire unites a team of experts and engineers to make sure that our tyres and teams are prepared for the unique track and weather conditions. This has accelerated our ad-

Additionally, taking part in motorsport activities valuable performance data from various driving conditions. The data proves extremely important as we can work towards helping Giti Tire tune our everyday tyres for custom- ers and partners.”
