Speaking at the launch, Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, director of the Macao Government Tourism Office, said, “With every split second that counts on a racing circuit, tire-making expertise is one of the keys to racers’ victory.”
Andrea Maganzani, chief executive officer of Pirelli Asia Pacific, added, “This exhibition, after all, is more than just a tribute to our 118 years of legacy in Pirelli; it is a celebration of the values that we uphold in Pirelli, which have been driving Pirelli forward.”
According to Maganzani, the exhibition “is a celebration of the passion, innovation, and sustainability that define the future of racing.”
