“I am very pleased to welcome Robby and his team back. This is a
major coup for Clipsal 500 and South Australia,” Mr Bignell said.
Gordon said he was already looking forward to next year’s Clipsal
500 Adelaide.
“The race track and the facility in Adelaide is one of the finest
temporary circuits I’ve ever seen in my life. The atmosphere was
amazing and I know a lot of the U.S. guys are excited about coming back to race at the Clipsal 500 next year.
“I knew we had a really exciting product but for it to build this
quickly and in another country in only our third year is unbelievable. Next year is going to be even bigger and better - we’re already
planning to bring out more trucks,” Gordon said.
Toyo Tires have signed on again as naming rights sponsor of the
Stadium Super Trucks race in Adelaide after the overwhelming
success of the 2015 Clipsal 500 Adelaide. The tyre maker’s Open
Country A/T II is the control tyre for the international series.
Toyo Tires & Rubber Australia Limited CEO & managing director Michael Rudd said it is an exciting prospect to be a part of the
series and its second visit to Australia.
“Not many motorsports push tyres as hard as Stadium Super
Trucks. The series is rapidly gaining a profile, every round has
spectators pressed up against the fence,” Mr Rudd said.
“The rigours of SST and the skills of the globally renowned drivers
are a perfect showcase for the Open Country tyres toughness and
resilience. A set of tyres will last teams multiple race weekends,
despite the punishment, SST truly demonstrates that Toyo Tires
are Driven to Perform,” he said.
