Consistent with the continuous development program of motorsport products made available to the teams in all the competitions in which it is involved, Pirelli launches a new wet tire dedicated to Gran Turismo cars.
The evolution of the wet Cinturato WHB, completely renewed in design and optimized in its main performances, will be adopted in all the GT championships in which Pirelli is involved.
The debut is expected this season in the DTM and ADAC GT Masters championship of which Pirelli will be the sole supplier until 2025 by virtue of the renewal, announced today (link to another press release), of the partnership which began in 2023.

“The DTM is an excellent race testing ground for the new Cinturato. In the German series, in fact, top-notch teams and drivers compete on challenging tracks and in sprint races that are always open until the end”, explains Matteo Braga, Pirelli's Head of Circuit Activities.
“The renewed wet tyre, like the P Zero DHF dry tyre, was developed to meet the needs of all the GT2, GT3 and GT4 cars that compete in all the championships for which we are suppliers and to which it will be gradually extended, based on to the needs and timing of promoters and teams, GTWC, in its various continental divisions, will be the next stage”.

The Cinturato WHB, which completes the renewal of the GT range following the launch of the dry P Zero DHF in 2022, features a new tread design which has allowed the use of latest generation materials.
These new compounds, together with the increased stiffness of the tread, have improved the footprint, optimizing grip and warm-up at low temperatures, without compromising stability in transition conditions from wet to dry and sensitivity to the acquaplano, which has actually increased.
In this way, the range of use of the WHB is broadened compared to the previous generation tyre.
Pirelli is present in over 350 on-track and off-road car championships and is the tire manufacturer most involved in motorsport worldwide.
In the GT series, the Milanese company is the sole supplier and technological partner not only of the DTM, but also of the GTWC Europe, the GTWC America, the GTWC Asia, the Intercontinental GT Challenge and the main international races and national championships.
