This event provided the perfect opportunity to showcase the new range of Trofeo R tyres, which are suitable for both classic and current Ferrari models in a variety of size.
The P Zero Trofeo R is an innovative, ultra-low profile tyre with asymmetric tread pattern designed for race track driving on dry asphalt, but it is also approved for road use. It has been developed to deliver greater performance when fitted to the most powerful vehicles.
In extreme conditions, typical of race track driving, it reacts with precision and provides high levels of grip. The tyre utilises cutting-edge technology through HAOF (highly aromatic oil free) compounds, while a redesigned tread pattern allows for improved stability, lateral grip in the dry and a notable reduction in wear.
The Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R is currently available at a selection of Pirelli Performance Centres (PPC) across the country. PPCs are a carefully selected network of audited tyre dealers offering the highest possible standards of service to drivers of prestige cars, looking for the most exclusive dealer experience available.

Pirelli UK Managing Director Dominic Sandivasci commented: “Our Trofeo R tyre is going from strength to strength and it’s great to see it performing so well for Ferraris both old and new.”
Ferrari Owners’ Club Competition Director John Swift commented: “This season, competitors in the Ferrari Owners' Club's race series, the Pirelli Ferrari formula classic, have adopted the latest Pirelli Trofeo R tyre. We have found this new performance tyre to be the best ever. The characteristics give us super grip in the dry with excellent predictability. Wear rates are low and even in very wet conditions adhesion is very acceptable. In short, this tyre gives the drivers enormous confidence, a vital feature in racing these fast GT cars. ”
