Supercars continue to stick with Dunlop for the 22nd year as the series Official Control Tyre. Dunlop Tyres are the exclusive tyre of the 2023 Repco Supercars Championship and the 2023 Dunlop Series, which combines the Super2 and Super3 categories.   

This year Dunlop will provide approximately 14,000 Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres in four specifications tailored to different track surfaces and race formats to ensure competitive and exciting Supercars racing.   

The four specifications are Soft, SuperSoft, Hard and a wet-weather tyre.  

Dunlop played a pivotal role in supporting the development of the new generation of Supercars by tailoring the range of Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. As Supercars now weigh less, 8 of the 12 rounds will be on Soft compound tyres, removing the requirement of Hard compound tyres. Hard tyres will only be in use for Supercars at the Beaurepaires Melbourne 400 at the Australian Grand Prix.  

A new compound wet tyre is also being introduced to better suit the lighter construction of the new Supercars and will provide increased grip in wet conditions.  

This year, tyres for the Repco Supercars in Bathurst will again feature pink sidewall branding to support Dunlop’s partnership with National Breast Cancer Foundation, and raising awareness of breast cancer during October.  

Kevin Fitzsimons and the Dunlop Motorsport Operations team are an integral part of the Supercars paddock. They join with race teams to travel around Australia providing on-track tyre fitting/stripping of tyres at each Supercars event, delivering unparalleled service, expertise and support to race teams.  

Dunlop is synonymous with industry-leading innovation in tyres and motorsport and immensely proud of our heritage in supporting and developing motorsport talent from grass-root categories through to the Supercars Championship. As one of Supercars longest partners, we’re so excited for the next generation of racing in 2023 and beyond.   Website: dunloptyres.com.au
