Goodyear heading for the IRL
Goodyear says that it has decided that it does not want to get involved in a competitive situation with a rival tire company because of the problems there are in controlling the costs of research and development and so has concluded that the best thing to do is to supply series which use control tires.
The most attractive thing about IRL is of course the Indianapolis 500 which remains the most significant motor racing event in the United States.
