Popular Formula D Tire Manufacturers

Sport fans tend to follow the sponsors of their favorite team or player. The sam
e can be said with auto racing; the only difference is that these players are re
ferred to as drivers. In fact, with auto racing, this is most commonly seen wit
h NASCAR. It has been said that NASCAR has the largest group of loyal fans. Fan
s not only support the sponsors of their favorite drivers, but they also tend to
purchase merchandise or services from them. The same can be said with Formula
Drifting.
Formula Drifting is a sport that is relatively new to the United States. Despit
e the fact that the first professional event was held in 2004, the sport still h
as quite the fan following. Like many NASCAR fans, these fans are loyal. That i
s why a large number of sponsors, also commonly referred to as product manufactu
rers have made the decision to become involved with the sport. When it comes to
Formula D, the sponsors that most often first come to mind are tire manufacturer
s.
Tire manufacturers do not just get their name on a driver s uniform, but they also
provide that driver with tires. With Formula D, the tires used are extremely im
portant. In fact, to create a drift the tires need to loose tractions with the g
round. This essentially helps to create the perfect drift. Since tires are so i
mportant to the sport of drifting, there are a large number of tire manufacturer
s who have inserted themselves into the sport. In fact, it has been noted that
Formula D has the most tire manufacturer sponsors of any other motor sport; whic
h includes NASCAR.
