Yokohama & Subaru Team Up for One Lap of America

Travis vs. Bilko

Yokohama Tire announced it has formed a marketing and motorsports partnership with Subaru Motorsports USA.

Yokohama will provide technical support as well as ADVAN A053 rally tires for the Subaru Rally Team USA’s campaign in American Rally Association (ARA) events, which included the One Lap of America race that took place in May.

At the 2019 One Lap of America, Nitro Circus’ Travis Pastrana and Blake “Bilko” Williams competed against each other in identical Subaru WRX STI Type RA’s shod with Yokohama ADVAN tires.

“Bilko and I got a chance to experience the event and push the Subaru STI to its limits, Pastrana said of the 2018 event. “There was too much trash talking in the car, and we decided at the end of last year’s event that we had to do it again… with the same car as we raced last year but on different teams!”

The One Lap of America is just one of the many events that Subaru Motorsports USA and Yokohama have teamed up for, and the list also includes the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama, the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama, the Porsche Pikes Peak Trophy by Yokohama, Global Time Attack and Super Lap Battle USA, 24 Hours of Lemons, Spec MX-5 Challenge, TrophyLite, One Lap of America, Yokohama NORRA Mexican 1000 and Yokohama Sonora Rally.

For the 2019 One Lap of America, Travis was joined by Marcus Luttrell, and Bilko’s teammate is Josh Sheehan. It was Team USA versus Team AUS. Check out some highlights in this Fast Friday video:
