“The Goodyear brand has been present in a career of Ayrton and today is on our side in various lawsuits. Accelerating the Education This action is an example of how companies can contribute to social causes through its marketing activities and also helps publicize the cause we advocate, which is education, strengthening work that benefits millions of children and young people each year. Undoubtedly, Goodyear and Ayrton Senna have everything to get ahead, “says Irenaeus Villanoeva Junior, marketing manager of the Institute .

Senna, one of the biggest names in world motorsport,  won the Formula 1 season in 1988, 1990 and 1991, the period in which Goodyear was the official tire supplier to the main category of motorsport.

The Eagle Excellence tire AquaMax was chosen to bear the signature of Senna because it is a high-performance Goodyear. With the differential AquaMax TM technology, this model provides better performance on wet roads, a prominent feature of Ayrton Senna, who was always known to be an excellent pilot in adverse conditions.
