Kumho has announced it's support for the 2008 Super TT Championship today, in an exciting coup for the category. In the spirit of the Championship (pitting various types of Tin Tops each other) and in order to allow competitors continued freedom of choice, Kumho has come on board not as a control tyre for the category, but as a supporter nonetheless - so confident are Kumho in their product, that they are prepared to let results speak for themselves.

The support from Kumho comes in the form of a free set of Kumho tyres (to the value of $1,500) awarded to one competitor per round (for use at the following round).

The criteria for awarding the tyres will be the "Kumho Top Gun" award, where the tyres will be awarded to the competitor who is judged to have demonstrated the most consistent performance, and who has maximised their machinery to the highest level.

In order to be eligible for the awards indicated above, competitors will display Kumho Tyres logos below their side number panels.

The 2008 Super TT Championship will bring massive Tin Top diversity to four different circuits during 2008, between March and November, and travelling between New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. The Championship will be televised on Fox Sports Inside Speed.

Round One is set to take place at Goulburn's Wakefield Park, in two weeks time - 1-2 March. If you can't make it to the circuit you can keep track of all the action via the official website: www.supertt.net.au
