Federal Tyres teams up with Rent4Ring on the Nordschleife!

Federal Tyres has carried out a testing of its new FZ-201 rubber in the world famous international circuit of Nurburgring Nordschleife in late May, which was evaluated by the professional driver and Rent4Rong owner Fredy Lienhard to try out the evolution of their medium compound semi-slick during the course of the two-day session in German. Fredy Lienhard’s knowledge and background in motorsports for many years gave Federal a very valuable perspective about the characteristics of their racing product. His response was generally more than favorable. 



Riding one of the Rent4Ring Opel Corsa OPC equipped with Federal FZ-201 tyres for the first time over short and long runs of driving along the track, Fredy was impressed with the constant level of FZ-201’s peak performance. He commented the performance of the new rubber and noted, “It's a real pleasure for me to have such an opportunity running Federal tyres from those two of the most productive days of testing. The FZ-201 generated quick heat temperature, plus a very consistent feeling contributed by the structure of strong sidewall to make comparison with Toyo R888 as a motorsports tyre, and I'm confident that they will form a very competitive package.” 

Taz Yeh, Manager of Motorsports Dept., Federal Corp. pointed out, “After finished the sessions of running, we’ve been hugely encouraged by what we’ve seen up to now, and that’s been under assistance of Lienhard’s useful insight into the performance of FZ-201 tyres under a wide range of conditions, corners and speeds. Its consistency and reliability, fully matched our expectations. The FZ-201 provided ultimate driving experience for the riders from the start to finish, and enabled the lap times to be fast. We look forward to continuing our work at what is a very exciting time for us during the next test sessions.”
