Dunlop EWC Press Pack - 8 Hours of Spa Motos

Dunlop Motorcycle Europe continues its FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC) campaign this weekend with the 8 Hours of Spa Motos at the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

As the exclusive tire supplier to the Superstock and Production Trophy classes, Dunlop supports 28 teams across both categories, while a further six top privateer teams have chosen Dunlop to compete against the factory-backed entries in the Formula EWC category. Among them is the No. 6 ERC Endurance Team, which had a strong start to the season after already showcasing the performance and reliability of Dunlop’s KR range in both wet and dry conditions last year.

Dunlop provides teams with a range of KR racing slick and wet tires, combining proven race-winning specifications with the latest developments from its ongoing tire development programme. Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps remains one of the most demanding circuits on the EWC calendar and the unique challenges it presents make it an important proving ground for Dunlop’s latest tire development, providing valuable data and feedback that helps shape future racing and track-focused products.

Dunlop’s latest generation medium specification front tire, with the development name G2_01 VAL3, will once again be available to all teams this weekend, which will be visually distinguishable with a yellow Dunlop sidewall decal.

“After a strong start to the season at Le Mans, we’re looking forward to returning to one of the most demanding and rewarding circuits on the EWC calendar,” said David Auerbacher, International Motorcycle Race Event Leader, Dunlop Motorcycle Europe. 

“Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps rewards teams that can combine performance, consistency and strategy over the full eight hours. With riders facing long high-speed sections, heavy braking zones and potentially changing weather conditions, tire performance remains a key factor throughout the race, so we're proud that two-thirds of the grid continue to place their trust in Dunlop.”
