The Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) places its trust in Michelin, as the official tyre supplier and technical partner to the Asian Le Mans Series.
Michelin has a long and successful history of racing with the ACO dating back almost 100 years. After winning the inaugural race in 1923, Michelin claimed its 28th victory and 22nd consecutive victory in the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans last year.

One of the world’s leading tyre manufactures on and off the track, Michelin offers the Asian Le Mans Series teams and drivers’ tyres that are able to deliver fast, reliable and safe performance. They must withstand the toughest of conditions placed on them during endurance races. They must perform in the extremes of temperatures as well, from the blistering heat of Sepang, to the very low track temperatures in countries like Japan. For Michelin, the longevity of the tyres is the key to success with consistency of lap times and long-lasting performance the priorities.
