Michelin is introducing a new Hypercar wet tyre during the Barcelona WEC weekend on 16–18 October. According to the championship’s technical report published on 16 October, the Pilot Sport Endurance tyre contains 57 per cent renewable or recycled raw materials. A blue sidewall marking identifies the new specification. Michelin’s available slicks contain 50 per cent of those materials, with soft and medium compounds offered for Barcelona. Making the wet tyre available does not automatically mean it will be used during the race.
