Kumho Tire Extends Sponsorship of Superrace GT Class

Official Tire Supply and Naming Sponsorship Agreement... Third Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Kumho Tire recently announced on the 8th that it has signed an official tire supply and naming sponsorship agreement for the 2021 CJ Logistics Superrace Championship GT Class with Superrace Co., Ltd. Accordingly, the 2021 CJ Logistics Superrace Championship GT Class will race under the name 'Kumho GT' class, continuing from last year.

Kumho Tire began officially supplying tires to the Superrace Championship, the largest motorsports competition in Korea, in 2019, and has maintained this partnership for three years. Since last year, the GT Class has also been named Kumho GT.

Under this sponsorship agreement, all vehicles participating in the Kumho GT Class will use racing tires exclusively developed by Kumho Tire, embodying the company's advanced technology.

Kumho Tire has continuously supported motorsports since establishing the Exta Racing Team in 2014 and operating it to this day. Last year, the team demonstrated its top-tier technology by simultaneously winning both the team champion and driver champion titles in the Super 6000 Class, the flagship and highest-level race of the Superrace Championship, showcasing the stature befitting a naming sponsor of the GT Class.

Kim Sang-yeop, Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing at Kumho Tire, said, "Kumho Tire is recognized for its technology as a global tire brand by serving as the official tire for various domestic and international motorsports competitions. Through the renewal of the Superrace GT Class sponsorship this year, we will do our best to actively contribute to the revitalization of domestic motorsports."

Meanwhile, the 2021 CJ Logistics Superrace Championship Kumho GT Class, running together with Kumho Tire, will hold its first race of the season on May 16 at Everland Speedway in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. This season will feature a total of seven rounds of races to determine the season champions of the Kumho GT1 and Kumho GT2 classes.
