A winning partnership continues
Yokohama has revealed it has recently renewed its ongoing partnership agreement with Germany’s Haupt Racing Team (HRT) and is aiming to capture victories at the 2026 Nürburgring 24-Hour Race (ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring) and the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS). This will be the third successive year the leading tyre brand has partnered with HRT for these events.
Yokohama began collaborating with HRT in 2024, and last season HRT competed with support from Ford Racing, the racing division of Ford Motor Company. In addition to finishing first in the SP9 PRO-AM class at the 2025 Nürburgring 24-Hour Race, the partnership’s car was the overall winner of Round 8 in last year’s NLS, recording its first victory in an NLS race for a Ford in 10 years.
Yokohama’s ADVAN racing tyres were fitted on the winning Ford Mustang GT3, providing the superb handling performance and reliability needed to win one of the world’s most challenging endurance races. Building on these achievements, Yokohama and HRT will continue to take on the challenge of achieving victories at the Nürburgring under an even stronger partnership from the 2026 season and into the future.
HRT was founded in 2020 and quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in international GT3 racing. By establishing a strong track record in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM), as well as the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) and the Nürburgring 24-Hour Race, the team’s strong technical and organisational skills are highly regarded.
Over the years, Yokohama has supported many teams participating in the Nürburgring 24-Hour Race, a motorsports event where the world’s leading tyre makers display their tyres’ performance under the most demanding conditions.
