[THE INVESTOR] Kumho Tire was the exclusive provider for all cars that competed in the annual Masters of Formula 3 race held in the Netherlands from Aug. 19-21, the tire-maker said Aug. 22.
Kumho provided its Ecsta S700 and W700 racing slicks -- manufactured for circuit use -- to the vehicles.
The Masters of Formula 3 is the unofficial European F3 championship car race. It draws crowds of an average 45,000 people, and is considered a valid marketing opportunity for auto parts-makers.
Kumho Tire was first named the official tire provider for the race in 2002 after trumping Japan’s Bridgestone. This year marks its 15th straight year as the official supplier.
