Michelin is continuing to work with track day organisers Porsche Club GB and RMA this year, ensuring they get the Michelin message across whilst providing tyre advice for track day goers.
Tyre advice is provided at the circuit by Michelin technical experts in association with the official service provider for track days, Hutchison Motorsport, who attend Porsche Club GB and RMA events.
Michelin currently recommend their Michelin Pilot Sport tyre for track day usage. The latest generation of this rubber was in 2003. The Pilot Sport is Michelin’s ultra high performance sports road tyre, and is approved by car manufacturers such as Porsche, BMW Motorsport, Mercedes AMG and Ferrari.
In addition to the new Pilot Sport, track days provide a good opportunity to try the road legal track tyre - the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup. The Pilot Sport Cup is the control tyre for the Michelin Porsche Club Championship. Michelin claim that this tyre is a genuine alternative to a slick.
