[TOYO TIRES Ambassador Delivers a Thrilling Performance at a European Motoring Event!]
TOYO TIRES ambassadors Masato Kawabata and Mad Mike took part as guest drivers at the ‘Goodwood Festival of Speed’, a motoring event held in the UK from Thursday 9th to Sunday 12th July.
This event is one of the world’s leading motoring gatherings, bringing together car manufacturers, racing teams, tuners and drivers from across the globe.
On this occasion, Masato Kawabata, the ‘PROXES’ brand ambassador, and Mad Mike, the global ambassador, took to the track in cars fitted with PROXES tyres!
Following his appearance at ‘ULTRACE’ in Poland in June, Kawabata drove the Nissan ‘R35 GT-R’—a joint project between ‘TRUST’, one of Japan’s leading tuning parts manufacturers, and TOYO TIRES. Mad Mike also delivered a thrilling driving performance in his self-tuned ‘MAZDA3 Bullet’.
Furthermore, ‘PROXES’ brand ambassador Yuichi Nakayama took to the track for a demonstration run as the driver of GAZOO Racing’s ‘GR GT3’ racing car.
