Officieel: Firestone stopt als bandenleverancier

De IndyCar-organisatie zal voor volgend seizoen op zoek moeten naar een nieuwe bandenleverancier. Al maanden gingen de geruchten dat Firestone na het komende seizoen zou stoppen als leverancier van de IndyCar Series, zojuist is het nieuws officieel bekend gemaakt.

"Het is jammer dat we zo'n geweldige partner en ambassadeur van de sport kwijtraken", vertelde IndyCar-baas Randy Bernard. "We zijn druk in gesprek met andere fabrikanten voor 2012 die onze nieuwe auto's van banden moeten voorzien. IndyCar biedt een perfect platform voor fabrikanten om hun merk bekender te maken. Firestone heeft bijvoorbeeld dubbel zoveel banden verkocht in de eerste vijf jaar van onze samenwerking."

Al Speyer, baas van Firestone's autosportafdeling, vertelde: "Ondanks dat we ons afscheid hebben aangekondigd wil ik benadrukken dat we onze teams en coureurs van het beste materiaal blijven voorzien tijdens het seizoen 2011. We zijn nog plannen aan het maken voor de Indy 500, die dit jaar 100 jaar bestaat."

Verder stapt Firestone ook uit de Indy Lights als titelsponsor en bandenleverancier na 2011.

    Mooi tijdig aangegeven. Nu heeft de IndyCar en de IndyLights organisatie alle tijd om rustig een nieuwe partner te vinden voor 2012.
    Mag ik een suggestie doen?
    Apollo Vredestein. En dan wel Chandhok en Doornbos in de IndyCars!

      Wat nou Chandhok? :S
      Die hoort in 2012 gewoon weer een kans in de Formule 1 te krijgen.

      @ Ricardo uit Geleen: Daar ben ik 100% met je eens, maar zoals het er nu naar uitziet heeft hij een kleine kans op Lotus voor 2012. Maar aangezien Apollo Vredestein in Indiaase handen is dacht ik dat een Indiase en een Nederlandse coureur als ambassadeurs in de IndyCars wel goed zou zijn...

    Ik kan het fout hebben, maar voor zo ver ik weet is Firestone en Bridgestone 1 bedrijf. Waarom gaan ze zich zo terug trekken uit de auto sport wereld. Een beetje vreemd vind ik dat.

      Was Firestone niet het \'goedkopere\' broertje van Bridgestone?

      Edit: Ja dus, Firestone is in 1988 gekocht door Bridgestone :-)

      Google is you friend ;-)
