Dunlop Tyres is over the moon on receiving a Special Award in recognition of its outstanding contribution to local motorsport at the glittering annual South African Motorsport Awards Ceremony in Johannesburg on Sunday evening.

“Dunlop Tyres shines on as a steadfast Champion of South African motorsport heritage, MSA explained. “Dunlop’s presence across no less than 22 local racing series reflects its deep rooted belief in local motorsport’s power to bring people together, spark ambition and foster the spirit of competition.

“Dunlop’s generous support, consistent commitment and genuine passion has bolstered the foundation of countless competitors’ dreams. A trusted partner, Motorsport South Africa proudly recognises Dunlop Tyres South Africa for its outstanding contribution to the growth and sustainability of the local sport.”

“We are absolutely delighted and super-proud to have been recognised for our outstanding contribution to South African Motorsport at the annual MSA Awards Ceremony,” Dunlop Marketing Manager Joanne de Freitas admitted. “It is an incredible honour to accept this Special Award.

“We dedicate this honour to our partners at ATS Motorsport and the incredible team behind the scenes. They run an intricate logistical process to have the correct tyres fitted for each competitor’s needs for every session. Without them, none of this would be possible. And of course, we salute every Dunlop-shod driver, winner and our over 30 Dunlop champions across the many categories.”

“We would like to thank Motorsport South Africa for this wonderful recognition,” Dunlop South Africa CEO Lubin Ozoux concludes. “Motorsport success is an ecosystem into which so many people put so much work and effort to make racing into what it is in South Africa. Dunlop is privileged and humbled to be part of this ecosystem.

“It is also important not to forget where we have come from through the tough days of lockdown, so it’s really a testament to the people in motorsport to be where we are today.  Dunlop Tyres is proud to contribute to motorsport in South Africa and we salute MSA for making the sport thrive as we look forward to the coming years.”
