ALSO, a lot of race entitlement news thats been overlooked here as well.

This time for the races at Road America and Laguna Seca for this year.



Rev Group will be the title sponsor for the RA race this year for 1 year.

And Firestone will title sponsor the Indycar Race at Laguna this year in September for 2 years.

Interesting thought that came across my mind while reading the Firestone article. Excluding oval tires, how would Firestone tires stack up against other giants of the industry like Michelin, Dunlop or Bridgestone? Has there ever been a real world test of this in recent years that I don't know of? Given what we are witnessing now in IMSA with the VASTLY superior Michelins breaking a long standing track record and recording faster lap times than continental could ever hope to achieve, it makes me wonder how other tire manufacturers would compare to the Firestone Roadcourse tires.
