Pirelli will bring one of its development tyres to the French WorldSBK for its second race weekend appearance.
Pirelli’s tyre allocation for the French WorldSBK includes two development options, one of which has been used only twice before. The allocation of rear tyres for the Magny-Cours World Superbike round on 5–7 September includes the standard SC0 tyre as well as the E0126 version of the SCX which has become popular since it was introduced back in Assen. The E0479 development version of the SCQ will also be present in Magny-Cours having been brought to two race weekends before. The first was at Misano back in May, where it was used in Superpole but not by everyone in the Superpole Race. The Sunday morning 10-lapper was won by Toprak Razgatlioglu on a development SCX rear tyre in Misano, but Alex Lowes used the E0479 to finish second. The tyre was also present in Hungary, where tyre choice for the Superpole Race was complicated by rain on Sunday morning that resulted in damp and patchy track conditions. Magny-Cours is likely to offer lower temperatures than Misano almost four months ago, temperatures could be into the high-20s by Sunday.
