Following a comprehensive evaluation process conducted jointly with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), the FIA’s partner in the governance of the FIA World Endurance Championship, and approval by the FIA World Motor Sport Council via electronic vote, Michelin and Goodyear have been reappointed as exclusive tyre suppliers for the Hypercar and LMGT3 classes respectively.
The tender process assessed candidates against a range of criteria, including technical expertise, product quality, sporting performance in different conditions, operational and customer service capabilities, sustainability commitments, marketing support and long-term contribution to the continued growth of endurance racing.
The selected suppliers demonstrated a strong ability to meet the championship’s technical and operational requirements while also supporting its technical and sustainability roadmap.
The continuation of Michelin in the Hypercar class and Goodyear in LMGT3 will also provide stability and continuity for competitors and stakeholders.
Both manufacturers have a wealth of FIA WEC experience in their respective classes. Michelin has served as the exclusive tyre supplier to the Hypercar class since its introduction in 2021, while Goodyear has supplied the LMGT3 class since its debut in the championship in 2024.
