Pirelli to be sole supplier to world rally championship

Pirelli will be sole tyre supplier to the world rally championship for three years from 2008. The FIA said in a statement that the Italian manufacturer had won a tender for 2008, 2009 and 2010.

No financial details were given.

Pirelli have a long history in rallying but the works teams in this year's championship are all using BFGoodrich tyres. The latter brand is owned by French tyre giant Michelin, whose withdrawal from Formula One at the end of last year left Japanese rival Bridgestone as sole supplier.
