Recently, Nova Motorsport has unveiled its new ACB11 rallycross tyre at the Loheac round of the 2024 French Rallycross Championship (FFSA Championnat De France Rallycross), of which the brand is the title sponsor. The latest ACB11 tyre is produced in Nova Motorsport’s new factory in Portugal, using the same moulds, compound and construction as the most successful rallycross tyre of all time, previously manufactured under the Avon Motorsport and Cooper Tires brands, it adds.
The ACB11 has an unrivalled success story in numerous global rallycross championships that have run on open and contracted tyre supply basis. The series-specific tyre has now won 10 FIA World Rallycross Championships, over 20 successive European crowns, and numerous national titles.
Rallycross forms one of the founding pillars of the Nova Motorsport strategy to produce specialist motorsport tyres for key series.
To ensure the highest possible levels of consistent manufacturing quality and product performance at its new manufacturing facility, Nova Motorsport transported 200 lorries of equipment from the former Avon factory in Melksham, UK, to Portugal. The refurbished manufacturing facility now hosts a R&D laboratory to replicate the previously produced tyres and formulate new tyres for existing or future championships.
The company says it looks forward to announcing further developments and product releases in the coming months. The ACB11 will be available for the start of the 2025 season.
