news ROOM Mitas for FIM Speedway GPs MITAS, the Czech Republic-based tyre manufacturer, has signed a multi-year contract with BSI Speedway, the promoters of the FIM Speedway Grand Prix, to be the official tyre supplier and associate sponsor of the World Championship Series. Andrew Mabin, Mitas’ Marketing and Sales Director, said: “Mitas’ association with speedway spans over 67 years since we began manufacturing specialist tyres for the sport, back in 1947. Over the years we have been dedicated to the development and support of the speedway discipline and look forward to continuing this work over the coming years.” In 2014, Mitas renewed its FIM certificate for both the SW-07 and SW09 speedway tyres. The FIM certificate, issued by the governing body, is to confirm that the named tyres have met or exceeded the requirements of the FIM certification programme, and the certification is valid until the end of 2017.
