Dunlop and TOCA are pleased to reveal that the announcement of driver tyre choice in the British Touring Car Championship will now be made available on Dunlop social media feeds before any other outlet.
Previously, spectators and competitors could not find out which tyres a driver had chosen until the cars were on the grid, ready for the race. From 2014 the information will be made public first on Dunlop’s social media feeds at 10am on race day.
The tyre options will continue in 2014 and the result-changing information of who will use what tyre in what race will now be available at the start of race day via Dunlop’s popular social media feeds, Facebook and Twitter (/Dunlop.UK and @DunlopLive). This allows spectators and fans to discuss driver strategy ahead of the start of the race and encourages people to get further involved with car set up, track conditions and the effect tyres have on these parameters.
