LAS VEGAS — The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) has selected a Maxxis-brand semi-slick competition tire, the Victra RC-1, as the spec race tire for the NASA Spec E30 class for the 2022 to 2024 seasons.
In selecting the recently updated Victra RC-1 to replace the Toyo Proxess RR, NASA said the Maxxis tire delivered an optimum balance between dry traction, consistency, tire wear, heat resistance and heat-cycle performance, characteristics racers are always seeking to improve.
The selection puts Maxxis International – USA into NASA racing for the first time.
"We're thrilled to be the spec tire to NASA's Spec E30 series for the next three years," John Wu, director of product strategy for Maxxis, said. "The Victra RC-1 was designed for the needs of club racing, and everyone at Maxxis can't wait to see these race-proven tires deliver in this exciting series."
