New classes, broader racing involvement for Dunlop
Dunlop Racing has even further extended its South African circuit racing involvement into 2025. The all new wings and slicks national MSA4 single seater championship, Formula Super Vee racing and the Cape BMW Series will join Dunlop’s regular racing categories in a fuller, even more action packed 2025 season.
“We’re delighted to welcome Investchem MSA4, Super Vees and the Cape BMWs to Dunlop’s jam-packed circuit racing portfolio,” Sumitomo Rubber South Africa Marketing Manager Joanne de Freitas confirmed. “These new formulae now join most of the rest of South Africa’s premier circuit categories racing on Dunlop tyres, all of which also benefit our full ATS Motorsport racing service and back-up.”
The addition of the new Investchem MSA4 wings and slicks single seaters to the Dunlop Racing portfolio means that the entire National Extreme Festival presented by Coca Cola will now compete on Dunlop Tyres. The single seaters join top tier classes, the South Africa Touring Cars and SATC SupaCup, Astron Energy Polo Cup and Extreme Supercars Driven By Dunlop on all national racedays.
They’re all supported by the Dunlop shod Volkswagen Rookie Cup, and Gazoo Toyota Racing GR 86 Rookies, GR Yaris Media, and GR Corolla Dealer Trophy races. Dunlop of course remains a fundamental aspect of the Northern Regions Extreme Festival, where the ATE Brakes VW Challenge, BMW M Performance Parts Race Series, DOE Formula Vee and Lotus Challenge all compete on Dunlops in that ATS supported roadshow.
Dunlop’s South African Endurance Series and Backdraft V8 Roadster season already commenced over the past weekend, where Super Vee South Africa also raced on Dunlop tyres for the first time. Dunlop’s Cape season was another to start over the weekend, where the GTI Challenge continues to race on Dunlop and the Cape BMW and Formula SuperCars also switched to Dunlop rubber on Saturday.
“We have an enormous and busy schedule for 2025, but the more we race, the more we learn that what wins on Saturday, sells on Monday,” Joanne de Freitas concludes. “Not only that, but motorsport no doubt improves the Dunlop breed. Let’s go racing!”
