New Identification Markings In Use On WEC Tyres
Michelin and Goodyear’s FIA WEC tyres are sporting new identification colour markers this week at Le Mans. This will help viewers trackside and from afar identify which tyre compounds are being used by each car throughout each session and race.
On the Michelin tyres the colours are placed on small coloured tabs. A white marking on the sidewall is used for the soft compound, while yellow features on the mediums and red appears on the hards.
The rain tyres will sport a light blue identification.
For Goodyear’s LMP2 tyres, its slicks are sporting yellow letters, while the text on its wets is blue.
These markings will stay for the remainder of the season and beyond.
