[SUPER GT 2006 SERIES]
Yokohama Rubber will continue its partnership with Toyota Team Tsuchiya, which gained a valuable win in the first race held last year. Partnering also with KONDO Racing running a Nissan Fairlady Z, Yokohama Rubber will participate in the GT500 class in competition with multiple tire suppliers. The company will thus participate with two cars this year - one Toyota and one Nissan - each with the best tires for its own performance characteristics, developed in their competitive pursuit of higher rankings. In the GT300 class, Yokohama Rubber will, this year, too, supply racing tires to a number of teams.
