Bridgestone Returns to a FIA World Championship

Dear Sir or Madam,
Dear Business Partners,

September 30 marks an important and exciting milestone for Bridgestone. On that day, we officially launched our partnership with Formula E, opening a new chapter in Bridgestone's long-standing motorsport history.

Guided by our principle "tyres carry life", Bridgestone's global employees have been meeting the challenges of motorsport together for more than 60 years. Motorsport is firmly rooted in our corporate history. It brings together our passion for performance, our pioneering spirit and our commitment to the highest quality.

The Uniqueness of Formula E

Formula E is the world's leading all-electric motorsport championship, governed by the FIA. Since its launch in 2014, it has featured exclusively electrically powered racing cars. Races take place on international circuits as well as on street circuits around the globe.

Formula E gives us a powerful international platform to push technological boundaries further, advance our developments and demonstrate our capabilities in the world's leading all-electric motorsport championship.

Bridgestone POTENZA tyres for the new GEN4

To meet the high performance demands of the new GEN4 vehicles, Bridgestone has developed the POTENZA GEN4. The tyre is designed to translate the exceptional performance of these vehicles optimally onto the track. It combines high performance with reliable grip across different road and weather conditions, as well as long-lasting durability, to deliver consistently strong performance from the start to the finish of a race.

In addition, the new wet-weather tyre, the POTENZA GEN4 for TYPHOON TYRE⁽¹⁾, has been developed. It provides excellent grip even in heavy rain and on surfaces with large volumes of standing water, and supports stable vehicle control in demanding wet conditions.

⁽¹⁾ "TYPHOON TYRE" is a specification designation used by the FIA for wet-weather tyres, which are fitted during heavy rain in races of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
