This weekend, Goodyear Racing Eagles will be at the heart of the action at Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire for the British Touring Car Championship, one of the world's most competitive and thrilling motorsport series. Simultaneously, Goodyear Racing is competing across three additional major championships globally, showcasing the technological prowess and capabilities of the Goodyear Racing Team and its Eagle tire family.

The BTCC race takes place near to Darlington, England, which coincides with NASCAR's “Chase to the Championship” playoff opener at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina. With the FIA World Endurance Championship's Lone Star Le Mans endurance event in Austin, Texas and and the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis taking place across the same weekend, the races will see Goodyear technology pushed to its limits. The demands placed on a racing tire vary dramatically between each championship. For Goodyear, that means understanding what being fast looks like in every environment and developing Eagle tires that meet every challenge.

Xavier Fraipont, Vice President, Goodyear Racing said “Goodyear Racing is at its best when we can demonstrate just how different the demands of racing can be, and this weekend brings together four very different racing environments and demonstrates the challenges for Goodyear Racing Eagle tires across four distinct championships,” said ““The varied environments and challenges allow our technical teams to create tires that perform, and those lessons translate to the tires that customers can buy today. ‘Fast is in us’ isn’t just our mantra, but our fuel that allows us to create what we consider the best tires in the world, anywhere.”

Goodyear takes on all comers at the top levels, and Goodyear Racing remains dedicated to helping drivers and teams find speed, traction, consistency, and confidence wherever they compete.

Did someone say horsepower?

It is the idea at the heart of Goodyear's global Fast Is In Us campaign, which celebrates the Eagle performance tire family and its more than four decades of credibility in performance– and how that spirit is found in the construction of every single Goodyear Eagle performance tire.

In the British Touring Car Championship, fast is in the battle. Goodyear Racing provides teams with a choice of up to three different compounds, which can be deployed across practice, qualifying and the three championship races. The choice of compound allows teams another layer of strategy to a series where drivers fight for position throughout the field.

In NASCAR, fast is in the turns. Darlington Raceway’s high speeds, rough surface and egg-shaped, high-banked oval layout make it a demanding test for Goodyear Racing Eagle tires, and drivers and teams will need to be perfect - from managing tire wear to race strategy and pitstops - to reach Victory Lane.

At Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, it’s a different set of challenges. Fast is in the launch. The U.S. Nationals is NHRA's flagship event, where performance begins from a standing start and the ability for Goodyear Eagle tires to transfer 11,000+ horsepower into forward motion from the moment the lights go green, before carrying that performance through the rest of the run at over 340 mph. The force, technology and grip are unparalleled in racing today.

And at Circuit of The Americas, fast is in the consistency. During the six-hour Lone Star Le Mans, every production-based sports car in the LMGT3 category will compete on Goodyear Racing Eagle Medium tires, with drivers able to cover more than 300 gruelling competition miles on a single set. This compound has proven its performance since LMGT3 joined the FIA WEC package in 2024 and has been thoroughly tested and has endured vastly different tracks, supporting front-, mid-, and rear-engined cars, and meeting the demands of both professional and amateur drivers.
