YOKOHAMA ESTABLISHES NEW INTERNAL MOTORSPORTS UNIT

Time: May 3rd 2017   Copy editor: Tyrefull

Yokohama Rubber will dissolve its motorsports-related subsidiary, Yokohama Motorsports International Co., Ltd. (YMI), effective on June 30, 2017, and transfer the subsidiary’s operations to a new internal Motorsports Department that will be established on May 1.

YMI was established in April 2013 to promote and supervise the company’s motorsports activities, including the development and supply of tires for motor racing competitions. Since its establishment, the subsidiary has contributed to a diverse range of motorsports events by supplying Yokohama tyres, including many competitions that have adopted Yokohama  tyres as their control tyre, such as the Japanese SUPER FORMULA Championship series, GT Asia, the Sepang 12 Hours endurance race, the All-Japan Formula 3 Championship Series, and the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC), and many other racing series, including SUPER GT races. 

Given the Company’s plans to further expand and broaden its motorsports activities around the world, it was decided that an internal organization would be better able to effectively supervise and coordinate these important activities. Hence, the subsidiary is being dissolved and replaced by an internal organization, the Motorsports Department.
