Michelin Race Truck

I should imagine that we have all seen these giant Michelin trucks at some time or another. Of course, they are used to carry tyres and fitting equipment to all the large motorsport events throughout the world.

Huge events such as lemans 24 Hr race would probably have more than one of these giant trucks in their Michelin tyres livery of white yellow and blue.

Michelin tyres are probably the worlds largest supporters of motor-sporting events in the world. From world rally-cross events to the giant F1 racing scene, then Michelin tyre have a tyre for every situation.

Motor GP: another Michelin success

Michelin give this sport some excellent support. So, the Michelin trucks that I have been writing about, needs to be large enough to hold 1,200 tyres.

As I have said, together with all the necessary installation and balancing tools, which, even when expertly arranged, take up three articulated vehicles.

Incredibly,

If that wasn’t enough to worry about, their mobile office, where all the paperwork and invoicing take place,. Which serves as a base for Michelin’s 25-person crew.

Which, joins the back of the convoy (nine technicians who work with the teams in the pit lanes, 11 tyre-fitters, two managers, a designer and a chemist, in case you were wondering).

Would you believe it ?

I must admit to my interest in tyres that are used for the motorsport team. Therefore, I have often taken interesting images, throughout my days as a blogger.

I took this picture in France. The giant Dunlop tyre truck was on the way to Le Mans for the 24-hour race meeting.
