Giti Tire, the official tyre partner of the British Truck Racing Championship (BTRC), has identified Le Mans and Donington’s Convoy in the Park as 2024’s big highlights, among another rip-roaring season.
Le Mans and Donington the Big Highlights for Giti in 2024 BTRC
The seven-meeting schedule marked the first time the BTRC raced at France’s famed Le Mans circuit. Giti-liveried Team Oliver Racing’s two trucks collected five trophies across four races. These included two second and three third-place finishes.
At Donington, the truck and bus team welcomed over 1,000 partners from big fleet contracts and Giti Dealers from Germany, Greece, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland and Wales. They joined more than 100,000 spectators at what is billed as the UK’s biggest truck motorsport event.
Ryan Smith Takes Charge
Ryan Smith of Worldwide Truck Racing continued his domination of BTRC’s top tier with 524 points, giving him 95 points ahead of second place Steven Powell of 333 Motorsport.
Michael Oliver and Stuart Oliver of Giti Tire Motorsport and Team Oliver Racing finished fourth and ninth, respectively.
Throughout 2024, Giti Tire remained the Official Partner and Exclusive Tyre Supplier to the BTRC. All competition trucks were fitted with GitiCompete Race-Tuned v1 competition truck tyres in size 315/70R22.5.
This year’s Giti Tire Motorsport activity has been underpinned by its co-branding agreement as a global automotive tyre partner of Sparco®, based on the companies’ shared philosophies and values of ‘racing, performance, research and development and continuous safety.
BTRC Fans are the Real Winners
Stefan Brohs, Marketing Director – Europe for Giti Tire, said, “2024 has been a fantastic year with a fantastic level of interaction with BTRC fans, especially at Le Mans and Donington, and extensive coverage through TV, socials and print. It goes without saying we have also seen world-class racing.
“Throughout the season, we have received positive feedback from our customers and upward development of the activity’s KPIs. Add to the equation the high target group coverage, and we have a solid basis for long-term collaboration with Team Oliver Racing and the BTRC.
“2025 will be the seventh year we have sponsored Team Oliver Racing and the fourth with Giti as Exclusive Tyre Supplier for the BTRC.”
