SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 23, 2025 – Goodyear is making headlines this weekend at the legendary ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, where nearly one-third of all competing teams are choosing its tires. With 45 of the 141 race entries riding on Goodyear rubber, the brand is set to deliver a strong performance at one of the world’s most demanding endurance races.
Held on a stunning 25-kilometer layout combining the Nordschleife and Grand Prix circuits, the event is part of the Intercontinental GT Challenge, placing it firmly on the international racing map. And in this high-pressure environment, Goodyear is rolling out both technology and heart.
Competing at the top across GT3 and GT4 classes
At the Nürburgring, teams are free to choose their tire partner — and Goodyear’s widespread selection speaks volumes. The brand will supply tires for top-tier GT3 entries in the SP9 class, supporting premium performance teams from:
- Aston Martin
- Audi
- Mercedes-AMG
- Lamborghini
- Porsche customer teams
Goodyear is also represented in a wide range of GT4 cars, demonstrating the adaptability of its tires across multiple vehicle types and driving conditions.
Trusted partner for exclusive racing classes
Beyond open competition, Goodyear has been selected as the exclusive tire supplier for three key racing categories:
- BMW M240i Cup
- TCR Touring Cars
- BMW 325i series
These exclusive roles reflect Goodyear’s ability to meet specialized performance demands while offering consistent, reliable tire support in the pitlane and paddock. More than 3,000 Goodyear racing tires will be on standby during the event.
Supporting racing with a mission
Some of the most heartwarming stories at the Nürburgring this year come from the pitlane — and Goodyear is right there to support them:
- Four Motors’ Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, co-driven by German rapper Smudo, is a sustainability pioneer, running on bio-waste fuel and lightweight bio-fiber components.
- The #13 White Angel for Fly and Help VW Beetle helps raise funds to build schools in Africa — an initiative Goodyear has proudly backed for three years.
- A crowd-favorite Dacia Logan brings grassroots energy to the elite racing grid, reminding fans of the passion at the heart of motorsport.
These partnerships reflect Goodyear’s broader mission to support innovation, sustainability, and social impact.
Building momentum from Le Mans to the Nürburgring
Goodyear’s appearance in Germany follows its most successful 24 Hours of Le Mans to date, where the brand supported LMP2 and LMGT3 teams. The transition to the Nürburgring introduces even greater variability — from changing weather to extreme track conditions — demanding tire performance that’s both dynamic and durable.
This dual test of performance highlights the strength of Goodyear’s motorsport DNA across the world's most prestigious 24-hour races.
A legacy rooted in Nürburgring history
Goodyear’s relationship with the Nürburgring dates back to the 1970s, with victories in the first editions of the 24-hour race. The brand also made history in Formula 1 on the Nordschleife, securing five Grand Prix wins between 1966 and 1976 with icons like Jackie Stewart, Jack Brabham, and James Hunt.
Today, Goodyear uses the circuit not just for racing but also for road tire development. Its Nordschleife-based development center tests and validates high-performance models like the Eagle F1 SuperSport, which is original equipment for elite cars including the Ferrari 12Cilindri and Porsche 911 GT2 RS and GT3 RS.
Goodyear’s race to road journey continues
Whether it's breaking records, supporting social good, or refining the tires on your next sports car, Goodyear’s role at the Nürburgring goes far beyond the track. It’s a celebration of innovation, endurance, and a love for the road — wherever it leads.
