glamorous component.
Even so, tires play a criti-
cal role in vehicle handling

key contender in the high

So when Pirelli unveils a

new P Zero, it not unnatural-

ly does the job in style. The
Jaunch was staged at Miami
Beach and Pirelli took an
entire hotel for the duration
of the event. Tire dealers and
media representatives flew in
from every continent where
tires are sold and I ran into
people from countries as dis-
tant as Latvia and Singapore.
There were even a few
“celebrities” among the

attending tire dealers —
including owo-time Formula
One Worid Champion
Nelson Piquet of Brazil, with
whom I shared a stretch of
the hotel bar one evening.
Piquet’s business interests in
Brazil include-three big tire
stores.

Tart of the launch
involved flying a large grou;
of delegates up to the Role - ;
24 Hours of Daytona where *
the new Cadillac Le Mans
racers debuted — on Pirelli P
