Pirelli Named Series Partner for 2024 FIM Mini Cup USA Series

Pirelli’s DIABLO Superbike Range and the FIM Mini Cup USA Series Will Serve as the Pathway to the FIM MiniGP World Series  

ATLANTA (March 27, 2024) – Pirelli, the global leader in high-performance tire manufacturing, is thrilled to announce its partnership with the 2024 FIM Mini Cup USA series, underscoring its commitment to supporting grassroots motorsports and nurturing the next generation of racing talent.

The FIM Mini Cup USA series will feature thrilling competition in the Ohvale 160 and Ohvale 190 classes. These classes will serve as qualifiers for aspiring riders aiming to secure a coveted spot in the prestigious FIM MiniGP World Series, which will take place later this year in Valencia, Spain.

As part of its partnership, Pirelli will supply its renowned 10- and 12-inch DIABLO Superbike slick range as the spec tire for both classes, ensuring all competitors have access to world-class tire technology that prepares them for the challenges of the international racing stage.

The FIM Mini Cup USA series consists of five rounds, with three rounds running in conjunction with the ASRA Championship rounds:

1.     Summit Point: May 25-26

2.     Virginia International Raceway: June 22-23

3.     Carolina Motorsports Park: July 20-21

4.     Pittsburgh International Race Complex: August 17-18

5.     Virginia International Raceway: September 7-8

“Pirelli is honored to partner with the 2024 FIM Mini Cup USA series, further reinforcing our commitment to fostering racing talent at every level,” said Oscar Solis, senior racing manager, Pirelli. “We believe in providing racers with the best tools and technology to succeed, and our involvement in this series underscores our dedication to supporting the growth and development of motorsports.”

In addition to its partnership with the FIM Mini Cup USA series, Pirelli recently became the exclusive tire supplier for the Moto2 and Moto3 World Championship classes in 2024. The partnership has already yielded remarkable results, with riders setting lap records in both pre-season testing and the opening rounds of the 2024 season.

The FIM Mini Cup USA series serves as an essential stepping stone for American riders aspiring to compete in the Moto2 and Moto3 World Championships, offering invaluable experience and exposure on the path to international success.
