SERIES INFO Official Sponsor SCCA SPEED World Challenge and Toyo Tires U.S.A. Corp. have enjoyed a long relationship beginning in 2001. Initially, all cars in both SPEED GT and Touring Car raced on Proxes® T1-S tires. This demonstrated the capability of Toyo Tires® ultra-high performance production street tires while helping to develop the next generation Proxes T1R. Since 2004, the Proxes RA1 street legal competition tire has been exclusive to the series, followed in 2008 by the Proxes R888. The company continues to provide promotional and tire support with an extended contract through the 2010 season. Toyo Tires manufactures and distributes a complete line of replacement tires with popular product lines including Proxes (high performance passenger car, light truck and racecar), Open Country® (light truck), and Versado (luxury passenger car). www.toyo.com Manufacturer Sponsor Viper returns in 2009 as a manufacturer sponsor for its Viper Competition Coupe. The Viper group introduced the Competition Coupe in 2002 for the 2003 season. In 2004, it carried Tommy Archer to the Drivers’ Championship and became the most popular car in SPEED GT. A division of Chrysler LLC, Viper is sold under the Dodge nameplate which also manufactures a full line of both cars and trucks. www.vipercompetitioncoupe.com Manufacturer Sponsor & Official Pace Vehicle Volkswagen is one of the world’s largest producers of passenger cars, and Europe’s largest automaker. For over 45 years, Volkswagen has been a dominating force in various forms of motorsports around the world. Today, VW continues to write racing history by focusing on a commitment to bring clean diesel technology to the race track. Volkswagen will continue in 2009 as a SCCA SPEED World Challenge contingency and manufacturer sponsor in support of all Volkswagen teams competing in SPEED Touring Car. Manufacturer Sponsor Volvo returns to SCCA SPEED World Challenge in 2009 as a manufacturer sponsor in support of the Volvo S60s competing in SPEED GT. A truly stunning ride, the S60 is a perfect marriage of art and engineering. For over 80 years, Volvo has been recognized as the leader in automotive safety. Today, we are driven by other things too: a desire to build cars that are less damaging to the environment, cars that make excitement the rule rather than the exception, and above all, a commitment to delivering premium quality and innovative design for our drivers, for their passengers, for everyone - for life. www.volvocars.com/us 14 2009 SCCA Pro Racing SPEED World Challenge Media Guide
