Dunlop Bridge

About

A Dunlop Bridge is an airway that allows spectators to move from one side to the other of a track in an automobile circuit. It takes the form of a tyre and refers to Dunlop. Over the years, this type of infrastructure has spread and has become a familiar part of motorsport, as has the Bibendum and the Goodyear airship.

The oldest and most famous bridge is the one installed on the 24 Hours circuit; It dates back to 1923. With the sale of Dunlop to the Sumono Rubber group, it is now Goodyear that will give its name to this parserelle without the chicane Dunlop changing its name. Some gateways including Le Mans were used to publicize the launch of new tyres.
