Michelin, official tire partner
Mirko Pirracchio, Michelin Motorsport Tire Advisor and Operations Manager who coordinated and followed all operations during the filming of the movie on several circuits between Central Europe and the Middle East, explains:
"The partnership between Sony and Michelin required the same responsiveness we have for the various motor racing championships that Michelin supplies around the world. We equipped around forty racing cars with specific competition tires and also tires from the MICHELIN Pilot Sport range for high-performance GT cars. MICHELIN tires played their role of "active player" to the full, ensuring performance and safety on both circuits and roads.
From October to December 2022, the cars were exposed to extreme weather conditions at the various filming locations, from cold, rain and snow in Europe to high temperatures in Dubai. Thanks to the versatility of our tires, but also our expertise and assistance on the ground, we always guaranteed that there was the right tire at the right pressure for the scene required. We interacted with the stunt drivers using the same approach as in official car racing. This meant they could recreate even the most extreme action scenes at any time.
