Back on Track

In 1956 Pirelli left Formula One and devoted all its resources and energy to the study and production of the Cinturato tyre. The following year, Stirling Moss won the Italian Grand Prix on the last Stelvio Corsa tyres that remained in stock. When Pirelli returned to the Championship in the 1980s, first the Cinturato and then the P Zero took Formula 1 by storm. The era of the Stelvio and of the Stella Bianca appeared to have come to an end. Or maybe not… In 2018, the Milano-San Remo was dominated by the stars, Pirelli and Ferrari. Spurred into action by the Prancing Horse, Pirelli brought the legendary Stelvio Corsa back to the market in its “Collezione” line exclusively for the Ferrari 250 GTO, which was developed to compete in the Gran Turismo category. Two sizes were made available: the 215/70 R15 98W for the front and the 225/70 R15 100W for the rear. No other size was planned, and no other car can fit this Stelvio Corsa. In other words, it was “the” tyre created solely for the Ferrari 250 GTO.

This new blend of tradition and modernity started out from technical drawings that were provided by the Pirelli Foundation from its Historical Archive, and it received its trial by fire in the Ligurian race. Aesthetically identical to the “Record-Breaker” tyre but now with the most advanced systems used in motorsport, the Stelvio Corsa of the new millennium pays the closest attention to the environment as well as to safety, while losing none of its original flair. Yesterday, like today, the result is a blend of excellence in terms of performance and authenticity and it is one that strengthens the bond between Ferrari and Pirelli, on both track and road.
