Bridgestone Announces 2025 Motorsports Plan
Reinforcing Sustainable Global Motorsports

9 April 2025 - Bridgestone Corporation announced its 2025 motorsports plan. In 2025, the company will
th
continue to support various domestic and overseas motorsports, ranging from top-level professional race
series to grassroots amateur races, to further enhance and support motorsport culture. Valuing its "origin" as

a tyre manufacturer, the company will contribute to the development of motorsport culture by reinforcing the
sustainable global motorsport as a “mobile laboratory” and connecting the refined technologies under
extreme conditions to the development of replacement car and motorcycle tyres.

In top-level professional race series, Bridgestone’s support will primarily come through supplying Bridgestone
POTENZA tyres for SUPER GT car races in Japan. The company will also provide Bridgestone BATTLAX tyres for
motorcycle races for All Japan Road Race Championship motorcycle races and Endurance World Championship

(EWC), the world's foremost series of endurance motorcycle races by Fédération Internationale de
Motocyclisme (FIM). With Firestone FIREHAWK tyres for car races, the company serves as the exclusive tyre
supplier for the prestigious motorsport series in North America, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES , which includes

Super Taikyu Series races as the official tyre supplier. In addition, it will supply tyres for the All-Japan Gymkhana
Championship and Mazda’s grassroots motorsport races as well as the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing GR86/BRZ Cup,
