Notice for J1000 Competitors
During 2022 the championship organisers issued a tender request to all tyre suppliers/brands for supply of tyres for J1000 cars for the Motorsport Ireland Forest Rally Championship in 2023 and beyond. Continuity of supply was a major factor in the decision-making process.
EARS Motorsport were successful in the tender process and for the next 3 years Pirelli Tyres will be the controlled tyre for the series. The tyre size will be 165/80R13 GM8, supplied solely through EARS.
Article 12 of the J1000 Technical Regulations has been updated to reflect this. There is no control tyre in place for the MIJRS J1000 Championship, but competitors registered for both the MIJRS and Irish Forestry Championship must use Pirelli tyres.
The National Forestry Sub Commission would like to acknowledge and thank Kumho for their support of the J1000 series since it began.
A prize package will be established with details to follow in the coming week
