FEL Motorsports and Michelin Motorsports reach 3-year partnership agreement
The Sports Car Championship Canada and Emzone Radical Cup Canada will both continue to be presented by Michelin through 2026
TORONTO, ON (July 15, 2023) – FEL Motorsports is excited to announce that they have entered into a new 3-year contract with Michelin Motorsports to be presenting sponsors of both the Sports Car Championship Canada and the Emzone Radical Cup Canada.
Since its inception in 2021, FEL Motorsports has been focused on moving the needle in homologated racing in Canada. Michelin has been a partner from the beginning, supplying tires and support for the GT4, TCR, TCA and Radical race teams.
Michelin will continue to support both series with their world-class sports car tires, trackside logistical support and weekend engineering support through 2026. The Michelin Motorsport tires used in Canada are the very same tire used in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge in the US.
“The FEL Motorsports-Michelin relationship has been a win-win,” said FEL Motorsports President, Chris Bye. “The teams are extremely happy with the Michelin race tires and trackside support. It is no secret that Michelin is the benchmark when it comes to sports car tires around the world and we could not be more proud of our relationship,” Bye continued. “We would be remiss not to thank Jason Anzalone, Tom Sullivan, Casey Halbrook and Craig Doggett from Michelin for all their support, and we look forward to extending our relationship together,” Bye concluded.
“Renewing our relationship with FEL Motorsports shows the commitment Michelin has to being a true North American partner in motorsports,” says Jason Anzalone, North American director of Michelin Motorsports. “We are thrilled to be a part of the Sports Car Championship Canada and the Emzone Radical Cup Canada, and we look forward to the exciting races that will continue to be on Michelin tires.”
