Firestone Racing are bringing more than 1,500 race tires to this weekend’s Children’s Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park.
Each entrant will receive the following allocation:
Six sets of the Primary black tire
Four sets of the red Alternate tire
5 sets of the Gray rain tire.
Notes from Cory Williams, Principal Program Engineer, on INDYCAR tires:
The Firestone Firehawk primary tire and alternate (red sidewall) tire have the same construction as those supplied for the 2023 Alabama Grand Prix, but the primary and alternate compounds are more durable as compared to last year. These more durable compounds were previously used for the 2022 Barber race event.
