  • BFGoodrich - Modified Magazine - April 2010 Issue

    Hybridz:

    In Modified Magazine's April 2010 issue, pgs. 014-017, there is a tech talk article written by David Pratte titled, "The Ultimate 25 Hour Racing Tire? BFGoodrich g-Force R1 makes a strong agrument."



    During my one-hour stint in this Mazda Mx-5 at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill, the BFgoodrich g-Force R1 tires it was equipped with provided consistently high grip levels.



    Some fresh R1s await their turn to endure countless hours of nonstop abuse during the 25 Hour race. On the left (less abused) side of the car, these lasted most teams at least 12 hours, while on the right (more abused) side they lasted most teams six to seven hours at Thunderhill.



    There are, of course, many excellent options in the highly competitive DOT track-tire segment. Some are best suited to autocross or time attack use, like the Hoosier A6 and Kumho V710, because they heat up quickly and use a very soft compound. Other option, like the Toyo R888 and Yokohama A048R, are more street friendly because they have a tread pattern that allows for better rain performance and use compounds that are more resistant to heat cycle degradation. But if your track tire needs involve prolonged use, say during a HPDE or race weekend, you'd be hard pressed to find a DOT track tire that offers better combination of grip and durability than the BFGoodrich g-Force R1.



    Again, luckily for members of Team Hybrid, not only can our members order then race and show on R1's, Drag Radial, KDW, Super Sport Z, g-Force Sport and etc. of their choice, but BFGoodrich has signed our team as not only as our 2010 title sponsor for the 8th year in a row but also, as the only exclusive import team they sponsor in 2010. Winners race-street-show on BFGoodrich Tires & Team Hybrid!
