GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge

Do they make race tires???

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Dec. 1, 2009) - GRAND-AM Road Racing is pleased to announce the entitlement sponsorship of the Sports Car Challengewith Continental Tire of Fort Mill, S.C. The new agreement entails the tire manufacturer becoming the title sponsor of GRAND-AM's Sports Car Challenge, which features factory showroom, high-performance sports cars. The series will be officially known as the GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, beginning Jan. 1, 2010.

 

Several weeks ago, Continental announced a new "strategic partnership" with Hoosier, so I would bet that the tires are Conti branded Hoosiers.

 

Conti and Hoosier have an alliance to share marketing and R&D. Tires will still be "Hoosier" (not sure how they will be branded) and shocks will still be Koni from what I have heard.

 

That's a mouth full.

Reminds me of how re-dick-u-less it sounds when the drivers say "this 'Insert sponsor name' - 'insert car type' - 'don't forget to including chassis and engine maker' is really performing awesome out there today."

I wouldn't put Continentals on my daughter's tricycle.

 

Correct.

and I have an invitation to race on the series.....

Anyone wants to sponsor me ?

 

they should race on Conti-Sports.

 

That would be like watching ice racing.

 

..

 

Lol.

 

Methinks that anyone in this forum who has the spare $$ laying around to sponsor you would simply call up any number of teams and spend that $$ to go racing themselves. There's no lack of teams looking for drivers with cash at this point.

 

CTSCC works.

 

sheez

 

when i read "continental challenge" i thought it was , like, Africa versus Antarctica. bummer.

 

Yes. That is a good idea but its never going to happen. Continental is not going to pay all that sponsorship $$ and allow their name to be shorted to 'C'. No way!

We are going hear - GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge - over and over and over.
