Bridgestone wins the World Endurance Championship with Honda

Bridgestone rejoices with the victory in the FIM EWC World Endurance Championship of the FCC TSR Honda France team, of which it is the exclusive partner and supplier, to which it contributed significantly thanks to the specially developed Battlax racing tyres.

“On behalf of Bridgestone, I would like to congratulate the FCC TSR Honda France team for their outstanding performances during the season” says Nico Thuy, Head of Motorcycle in Bridgestone EMEA – “For us it is extremely gratifying to see that a team racing with Bridgestone has such high performance as to win one of the most challenging championships in the motorcycling world.”

As proof of the great performance of Bridgestone tires there are also the incredible performances of the teams at the Suzuka 8 Hours: the Yamaha Factory Racing team triumphed for the fourth consecutive time after an incredible head-to-head with the Kawasaki Green team and Red Bull Honda, all equipped with Bridgestone Battlax racing tires.
It is the 14th consecutive time that a team competing on Bridgestone tires has taken the checkered flag in this prestigious race.

“We noticed that in Suzuka, 31 of the 64 teams at the start used Bridgestone tyres” – says Nico Thuy – “It is confirmation of the confidence after our return to endurance racing. Furthermore, in every single EWC 2018 race, the team that placed first was equipped with Bridgestone tyres.”
