TyreSafe has entered into a partnership with RED Driver Training, one of the UK’s leading driving schools, as its first dedicated driving school supporter.

TyreSafe's goal to increase road safety, especially for new drivers starting their adventures as road users, has reached a major milestone with this partnership. In order to promote lifetime habits that lead to safer roads, TyreSafe hopes to increase its efforts to teach new drivers the value of tyre safety and maintenance by collaborating with RED.

By providing thorough driving instruction throughout the UK through a robust network of RED franchised driving instructors, RED Driver Training plays a crucial part in helping thousands of students annually get their driving licenses. RED offers advanced driving experiences in addition to training, such as their well-liked ‘skidpan’ sessions, which assist new drivers in successfully navigating hazardous situations. In order to guarantee that students have the information and abilities necessary to drive safely and responsibly, they also assist them with a dedicated theory and practical test preparation app.

Stuart Lovatt, Chair of TyreSafe, said “We are thrilled to partner with RED Driver Training, an organisation that shares our commitment to road safety and education. New drivers are at a crucial stage in forming safe driving habits, and through this partnership, we have an incredible opportunity to instil the importance of tyre safety from the very beginning of their journey on the roads. Together, we hope to create a generation of drivers who understand the vital role tyres play in road safety.”

Colin Paterson, Head of Marketing at RED Driver Training, said “At RED, our goal is to equip new drivers with the skills, confidence and knowledge to stay safe on the roads, and tyre safety is an integral part of that. Joining forces with TyreSafe allows us to enhance our offering and emphasise the critical role tyres play in keeping drivers and passengers safe. We’re proud to be TyreSafe’s first driving ‘school’ supporter and look forward to working together to make a real difference. Our ‘Learn to Drive with RED’ app makes us more than just a normal driving school, and in co-operation with TyreSafe, we are keen to explore the creation of collaborative video content and more.”

Sun Auto Tire & Service, one of the largest independent tyre and automotive service providers in US, has entered into a new sponsorship agreement with Ty Gaynor Motorsports, backing driver Ty Gaynor as he takes on the NHRA circuit in both Top Dragster and Super Stock categories. This alignment brings together two entities that prize performance, precision and consistency – qualities that are essential under the hood and behind the wheel. Sun Auto’s branding will appear on Gaynor’s race vehicles throughout the season, with the company’s nationwide network of over 575 locations symbolically travelling alongside him as he competes across the country.

At just 18 years old, Gaynor represents a third generation of drag racing heritage, having climbed from Junior Dragsters to secure his first NHRA national event victory in 2025 at the Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals. That landmark Top Dragster win featured a nearly flawless reaction time and a run closing in on 200 mph (approximately 322 kmph). Company leaders describe the sponsorship as a natural outgrowth of Sun Auto’s deep roots in automotive service and its enduring commitment to high-level performance.

The 2026 season will see Gaynor continue his campaign in both Super Stock and Top Dragster competition, with his first race scheduled for the upcoming weekend. Through this partnership, Sun Auto reinforces its connection to the precision and dedication that define success both on the track and in the service bay.

Gaynor said, "Growing up around my family's shops that are now part of the Sun Auto Network, it feels like everything's come full circle having that logo on my cars. What started as family is now a network of more than 575 locations across the country."

Matthew Loos, Chief Marketing Officer, Sun Auto Tire & Service, said, "Whether it's in the shop, in the pits or on the track, consistency, precision and performance matter.”

Dunlop Motorsport marked its competitive debut on the Nürburgring Nordschleife with a strong top-10 finish, underscoring the potential of its advanced tyre technology. Central to this effort was the use of Dunlop tyres, integrated with the innovative Sensingcore system developed by Sumitomo Rubber Industries. This proprietary technology transforms the tyre itself into a smart sensor, delivering real-time data on critical parameters such as wear, pressure, wheel load and track conditions without requiring additional hardware. By enhancing both safety and strategic decision-making, Sensingcore enables early detection of issues like loose wheel nuts and allows for optimised pit stops, proving its value under the extreme demands of the ‘Green Hell’.

Behind the wheel of the black-and-yellow Porsche 911 GT3 R, drivers Nico Menzel and Dorian Boccolacci delivered a determined comeback. After a challenging qualifying session left them in 24th place due to ill-timed yellow flag periods, Menzel wasted no time, surging to 18th by the end of the opening lap. Boccolacci then took over, extracting the full potential of the new Dunlop slicks with consistently fast lap times. A well-executed team strategy propelled the duo into the top 10 before the race’s midpoint. Although the leading pack had built an insurmountable gap by then, preventing a podium challenge, Boccolacci brought the car home in ninth place overall after four hours of racing.

The event served as a crucial development test for both tyre technology and Sensingcore under real-world conditions, highlighting its promise for future motorsport and production applications. Dunlop Motorsport will continue its preparation at the next Nürburgring Endurance Series round, the 57th Adenauer ADAC Circuit Trophy on 11 April 2026, as part of its buildup to the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring in May.
