Pirelli, which in 2007 celebrated its century of motorsport success, will be the exclusive tyre supplier to the WRC (World Rally Championship) for the three-year period 2008-2010. The FIA world council, meeting in an extraordinary session in Paris, accepted Pirelli's offer for the supply of tyres, appreciating not only the product and the firm's capacity for technological innovation, but also the objective of nurturing young talent and promoting national championships.
