The World Endurance Championship (WEC) has renewed its tyre supply agreements with Michelin and Goodyear until 2032. The decision was made by the WEC's promoters, the FIA, and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest during a virtual meeting of the World Motor Sport Council. Michelin will continue to supply the Hypercar class, while Goodyear will maintain its commitment in LMGT3.
The championship assessed potential suppliers based on criteria such as technical expertise, product quality, sporting performance, operational capabilities, sustainability, marketing support, and long-term contributions to the growth of endurance racing. Both Michelin and Goodyear have had long-standing relationships with the WEC, with Michelin active in the series since its rebirth in 2012 and Goodyear joining in 2019.
The renewal of these contracts provides stability and continuity for the teams and stakeholders involved in endurance racing. Both tyre companies expressed pride in their continued partnership with the WEC and emphasized their commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance and innovation.
