An old name returns

July 7, 2014

Michelin’s new range of “old” tyres for pre-and post-war racers will bear a proud name from the past. The dual purpose road/race rubber, tested by TOPS members and available in sizes from 16in to 19in, will be called “Englebert Competition P by Michelin”, recalling the once-great Belgian firm which used to equip the top Continental teams.

Bravely ignoring his degree in industrial design after discovering night rallies in a Renault 8, GC joined Motor Sport by accident, in the Teesdale days around 1982 when Jenks and WB were office regulars and Mr Tee ruled with a rod of cardboard. He took part in some of the early historic rallies, winning one of the Pirelli Marathons, and regularly runs his Mk2 Jaguar in road events.
