Pirelli come back in WRC next year

The FIA confirmed this afternoon that four manufacturers have registered to supply tyres to the 2014 FIA World Rally Championship.

DMACK, Hankook and Michelin continue to support the Championship and will be joined by Pirelli for next season.

FIA Rally Director, Jarmo Mahonen said: “We are obviously very pleased to have competition between four manufacturers next year, three of whom are already supporting our Championships. Having Pirelli return to the series is also very positive, and together these four brands will provide a great platform for open competition as well as choice and variety for our competitors.”
