Michelin Races Onto the Big Screen in "Gran Turismo" Movie!

2023-09-07

 

Michelin recently stepped into the limelight as the official tyre partner of Tinseltown’s racing movie, Gran Turismo about the remarkable true story of a teenager’s journey from excitement in Gran Turismo virtual race simulator to the adrenaline rush on the real-world racetrack.

Adopting the same approach as in actual racing, Michelin ensured the right sets of motorsport competition and high-performance tyres were used during reenactments of gripping races on notable circuits including Nurburgring, Redbullring, Slovakiaring and Dubai Autodrome.

 

 

Beyond the silver screen, Michelin’s partnership with PlayStation's acclaimed Gran Turismo franchise runs deep in the digital realm through its role as official tyre supplier of FIA Certified Gran Turismo Championships as well as official tyre technology partner for Gran Turismo. 

 

 

As the full-throttle movie races onto the big screen in Malaysia, Michelin will continue to bridge the gap between virtual and real racing to elevate the authentic driving experience in Gran Turismo with proven tyre technologies from over a century in professional motorsports.
