Tread Menace

Yokohama Tire announced its partnership with Competent Motorsport for another season of racing. Starting in 2021, Yokohama will be the title sponsor and exclusive tire provider of the Yokohama Drivers Cup USA, an eight-race series featuring Porsches and Ferraris in separate run groups. The races will take place at venues such as Circuit of the Americas, Laguna Seca, Sonoma Raceway and Road America.

Yokohama and Competent were partners on the Drivers Cup series in 2007 and reunited in 2020 for the Porsche Sprint Trophy USA West, which will no longer be a series in the U.S. next year. The races will feature multiple generations of Porsche GT3 Cup Cars, GT3 Rs and Cayman GT4, as well as Ferrari F430, F458 and F488 competing against each other.

Yokohama’s extensive list of 2020 North American-based motorsports activities – both on- and off-road – also includes the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama, the Porsche Sprint Trophy USA West, the Porsche Pikes Peak Trophy by Yokohama, Global Time Attack and Super Lap Battle USA, SCORE, Crandon International Raceway sponsorship, 24 Hours of Lemons, Subaru Motorsports USA partnership, TrophyLite, Yokohama NORRA Mexican 1000 and Yokohama Sonora Rally.
