FIA World Rallycross Signs Cooper Tire Europe

Cooper Tire Europe has agreed a multi-year deal to become sole tyre supplier to the all-new FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy, beginning this season.

The agreement will see Cooper take on exclusive tyre supply to the championship for the next three years. The FIA World Rallycross Championship (World RX) will run alongside the FIA European Rallycross Championship, which will continue as a series in its own right, following a hugely successful season in 2013 under series promoter IMG Motorsport.

Cooper, along with Avon Tyres, have supplied tyres to European Rallycross Champions for the past two decades.

IMG spokesman, Martin Anayi, commented: “Cooper has a very long and extremely successful history in the rallycross arena and it’s undoubtedly the tyre of choice for the vast majority of competitors. Ultimately, it is a result of these qualities that we’ve selected Cooper as our exclusive tyre supplier for the next three seasons.”
