Team AutoPerformance Kick-Start Racing crossed the finish line of the recently concluded Kalayaan Cup endurance race, equipped with Goodyear’s latest tire, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6.
The 12-hour competition is the country’s longest and most grueling event, pushing both cars and drivers to their absolute limits.
Using a purpose-built BMW M3 race car, AutoPerformance Kick-Start Racing successfully ran one set of the Asymmetric 6 tires for the entire 12 hours, which proved the quality and durability of Goodyear’s new tire compound.
“Endurance racing is incredibly tough on tires. For us to be able to compete with the best, we need tires that have great grip, but just as important, can withstand the extended abuse that comes with 12 hours of hard racing,” explained Francis Aguila, AutoPerformance Kick-Start Racing driver and team principal. ” We are proud to be the first in the country to test the new Goodyear Asymmetric 6, and it has exceeded our expectations in terms of performance and durability. “
“I’m proud of our tire’s performance in the recently concluded Kalayaan Cup Endurance Race. The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tire demonstrated its durability and consistency throughout the race, allowing our drivers to complete the full distance without any major issues,” said Peter Gonzales, General Manager for Goodyear Philippines, Inc. “We learned a lot about our tire’s strengths and weaknesses and we’re looking forward to the next opportunity to the next race. I want to thank the entire team of AutoPerformance Kick-Start Racing for their hard work and dedication.”
