MEYLE says its commitment to truck racing is a rewarding investment. At the Nürburgring Truck-Grand-Prix racing weekend held from July 1-3 in Nürburgring, the company-sponsored “tankpool24” team claimed a total of four podium positions. Excited by their live experiences at the event, the “MEYLE Mechanics” dedicated their latest video to the event, offering motorsport enthusiasts exclusive interviews and a glance behind the scenes of truck racing.
MEYLE has been supporting the “tankpool24” team with MEYLE brake discs and pads since 2014. As of this year, the company also supplies MEYLE engine mounts.
The event featured trucks thundering down the track, an atmosphere crackling with adrenaline and four top positions to celebrate. The “MEYLE Mechanics” said they are enjoying the races, also having a chat with two-time reigning European Champion and “tankpool24” driver Norbert Kiss, his colleague André Kursim and crew chief Markus Bauer. Kursim talks about his experience with the MEYLE brake discs and the load levels that brake parts must be able to withstand during a truck race. Stefan Honens, technical expert of the “tankpool24” team, explains the quality criteria any component must meet to be suitable for use on the team’s race trucks.
As a sponsor and development partner of the team, Hamburg-based manufacturer MEYLE says it was particularly happy with the team’s performance at the Nürburgring. Sven Nielsen, head of strategic product development at MEYLE, commented, “Claiming four podium spots has exceeded our boldest expectations. It testifies once again to the superior quality of MEYLE brake discs, brake pads and engine mounts.”
