POSSIBLE NEW PROJECTS • We are dominant in the Danish Rally scene • DTC (Danish Touringcar Championship) would be a welcome addition (high profile, supported by TV, new PR-opportunity) • Dunlop sole supplier • Will Yokohama be able to supply tires for the DTC series, approx. 1500 pcs/yr?
motorsport tyre situation 1 • We have been asking about tires for Rally Cross class 0-1400 ccm. The size should be 180/530R14, Compound like the old wet N1606 or similar…
motorsport tyre situation 2 • There seems to be a greater interest for Historic Race not only in Denmark but in Europe in general. In connection with this there is a change towards wider tires, for example in 13” which we are unable to supply in A048
QUESTIONS / SUGGESTIONS • Delivery time in general • Prices / competition in the future • Pricedropping from cheap brands • Can we compete on price if needed? • MH tires from USA (lowprice offers to Danish Rally Cross drivers in Sweden) • Radial tires for R/C? • What are the plans for the future?
