ERC Campaign & Advanced Tire R&D Project

Starting in 2027, our team is launching a comprehensive campaign in the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC). This project combines high-level motorsport competition with rigorous, real-world Research & Development (R&D) to support next-generation tire technologies. For this project, we are deploying a brand-new Toyota GR Yaris Rally2, scheduled for delivery in January 2027.

Operating as a professional technical partner for our tire manufacturing client, we will tackle the most demanding gravel and tarmac stages across Europe using this state-of-the-art competition vehicle.

Our primary business mission is to generate high-fidelity, actionable data for tire development. Through a full-season entry in the ERC with the GR Yaris Rally2, we provide the following technical solutions to our partner manufacturer:

Real-Time Telemetry & Data Collection

Utilizing advanced onboard sensors and data loggers on the Rally2 platform to capture precise metrics on tire carcass temperature, pressure fluctuations, and cornering loads under extreme racing conditions.

Diverse Surface Testing

Executing rigorous testing on a wide variety of European terrains—from the fast, smooth tarmac of Central Europe to the rough, loose gravel of Southern and Northern Europe.

Compound & Tread Evaluation

Assessing the durability, grip degradation, and performance limitations of prototype compounds to accelerate the manufacturer's R&D cycle.

To ensure operational excellence and transparent business execution, our project follows a structured roadmap:

Q3–Q4 2026

Finalizing team structure, technical engineering staff, and procurement of the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 (invoicing phase).

January 2027

Official delivery and shakedown of the GR Yaris Rally2; formalization of the R&D Service Agreement with the tire manufacturer.

2027 Season

Full-season entry in the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC), executing ongoing data delivery and feedback loops.
