Harrison Racing announce new sponsor

Toyo Tires Backs Harrison Racing On Two Wheels

Respected Japanese tyre manufacturer Toyo Tires has announced that it is to back accomplished motorcycle racers, Harrison Racing. The Manx-based team will ride under Toyo team colours for the 2015 season, competing in a number of high-profile motorcycle races.

The deal will see Toyo supporting the team through the year, and helping the two Harrison brothers, Glenn and Nathan, to compete locally in the Isle of Man. Both riders have set their targets high, with aspirations to win both the Centre and 600 Championships.

Toyo Tires will also play a major part in supporting Glenn for his 2015 road racing campaign where he will compete at the International Southern 100 and the Classic TT / Manx Grand Prix. With an impressive riding CV behind him, Glenn is hoping to achieve stand out results, especially at the Manx Grand Prix where the team firmly believes that a podium is more than achievable. The support that Toyo Tires will bring to the team will also help Nathan compete across in the UK with a possibility of wildcard rides in the British Superbike series, hopefully this will prepare Nathan for a potential debut in the 2016 Manx Grand Prix and a full season of British Superbikes.

Clearly elated with their new backer, both brothers were optimistic about the challenge ahead. “We are so pleased to have Toyo Tires as a title sponsor for 2015. It makes our season so much more exciting knowing we have support from the major Japanese tyre manufacture. With Toyo supporting us and continued support from long time sponsor and friend Chris Preston who has purchased a new Suzuki GSX-R 600 for Nathan, the 2015 season looks promising and we hope to prove this with our results!” said Glenn.

Harrison racing’s first meeting will be an Andreas Racing Association event at Jurby Airfield, IOM, on the 22nd March 2015.

Toyo Tires not only have the best tyres but the best team and support on and off track. Always striving to improve on perfection and with this allowed us to win the Formula Drift Japan Championship with the Proxes R888R Drift.
I use Open Country M/T on my everyday Mazda BT50 that is kitted out for lots of fun plus used to haul the race cars from track to track.

Pikes Peak was an incredible experience for mine and my team TCP-Magic, and we were also able to break 2 world records with Fastest Mazda and Fastest Rotary Powered Vehicle in the 101yrs history of Pikes Peak. TOYO TIRES constructed us 2 amazing tyre options for the challenging conditions the mountain threw at us with the wild weather. I still can't believe the amount of traction we had and how the tyre lasted the massive climb to the top with 156 corners up to 14,000 feet in elevation not to mention fitted on our crazy 2023 Mazda 3 with a 1400h 4 rotor Twin Turbo and RWD conversion running NO traction control, ABS or any type of assists.

Toyo Tires has been my top choice long before we became partners. I have tried and tested many other brands in the past, but none of them met my needs like Toyo did.

Claiming over 100 podium finishes and winning championships every single year in various motorsport disciplines for over 10 years demonstrates the versatility of the Proxes compounds, which performed exceptionally on any track and in any conditions. With Toyo R888R, I can anticipate and predict the next manoeuvre with clarity, maintaining full control in extreme racing conditions from start to finish, regardless of driving style or racing type.

I have been participating in the Dakar Rally, one of the most challenging Cross-Country Rallies in the world and American off-road races with Open Country M/T-R since 2021.
Open Country has impressive performance in all kinds of off-road terrain with a variety of specs to meet each need. With Open Country, I am confident even when attacking unknown places.
I also sympathize with the way Toyo Tires continues to be a challenger, always aims for better and higher performance for the future.
Aiming for the best driving with Open Country is one of my purposes in life.
