Toyo Tires Stadium Super Trucks to return in 2016

Off-road racing star, Robby Gordon will return to South Australia for a Toyo Tires Stadium Super Trucks race at the 2016 Clipsal 500 Adelaide.

Toyo Tires have signed on as naming rights sponsor of the Stadium Super Trucks race in Adelaide after the overwhelming success of the 2015 Clipsal 500 Adelaide. The Open Country A/T II is the control tyre for the international series.

The Australian debut of the Stadium Super Trucks was an overwhelming success for Clipsal 500 Adelaide race organisers with crowds packing the grandstands to see the V8-powered trucks fly around the Adelaide street circuit.

Toyo Tires & Rubber Australia Limited CEO & managing director Michael Rudd said it is an exciting prospect to be a part of the series and its second visit to Australia.

“Not many motorsports push tyres as hard as Stadium Super Trucks. The series is rapidly gaining a profile, every round has spectators pressed up against the fence,” Mr Rudd said.

“The rigours of SST and the skills of the globally renowned drivers are a perfect showcase for the Open Country tyres toughness and resilience. A set of tyres will last teams multiple race weekends, despite the punishment, SST truly demonstrates that Toyo Tires are Driven to Perform,” he said.
