Description:

Mussati Philippe, Director of motorcycle racing Michelin , reviews the performance of the tires,” Our 2011 season is very good and I want to thank our partner teams for their involvement and confidence. Michelin has proven the performance of its tires. Here in Doha , we are even faster than in 2010, with a race record time in 2’00”347, in the last ten minutes of running, after eight hours of battle tough.


Recall that the division made in 2010 by the same BMW was 2’00”769.

We recorded superb performance this year. This performance conducted over the season as well as today, demonstrates the excellent integration of Michelin tires in the tire-motor-driver. Thus, technological innovations made to the tire were significant for our team’s entire partner.

The drivers of our three teams registered partners have a performance gain of a second per lap compared to 2010. This gain is due to the development of rubber and architectures specifically designed for extreme conditions. ”
