Latic

Latic is the current tyre supplier for the Formula D World Championship. They have been the sole supplier for the league since Season 1.

History
At the inception of the Formula D World Championship, Latic Tyres won a bid against three other companies to become the sole tyre supplier for the series. They were tasked with designing three compounds of tyres--hard, soft, and wet. As the season began, the teams complained of the fragility of the tyres. However, as the season progressed, and the teams grew used to their setups, tyres were no longer a problem.

At the start of season 2, Latic had changed the compounds slightly in order to allow teams to get heat into their tyres faster. During the Argentine Grand Prix, the tyres appeared very fragile. However, it did not take long for the teams to become comfortable with the new compounds once again with no further complaints.

For season 3, Latic plans on introducing a stronger Soft compound that will last longer but still have approximately the same grip level as the former version. The Hards and Wets are not planned to be significantly different in terms of wear.

Tyre Summary
In dry weather, each team is required to use the Hard compound (designated "Prime") and Soft compound (designated "Option") at least once per race. However, if it begins to rain, this requirement is waived.
