Nova Motorsport has announced its appointment as the official motorsport tire partner for Caterham Motorsport in a multi-year agreement. The partnership transfers the long-standing association between Caterham and Avon Motorsport to the new Nova Motorsport brand, which produces the former championship-winning Avon Motorsport tires under license.
Nova Motorsport will supply its performance tire products across four official Caterham Motorsport championships, ensuring competitors continue to race on tires designed, developed and manufactured for the demands of the Caterham Seven.
The supplied line-up will feature former Avon-branded tires now rebranded as Nova: Caterham Roadsport Championship – Nova ZZS; Caterham Seven 270R Championship – Nova ZZS; Caterham Seven 310R Championship – Nova ZZR/ ZZS; and Caterham Seven Championship UK – Nova Motorsport slicks and wets.
The Nova-branded ZZR and ZZS tires have been engineered with a singular focus on track performance. No longer restricted by label-grade compliance, both products deliver enhanced performance without the limitations imposed by road tire labeling legislation.
Daniel Stanton, head of sales and marketing at Nova Motorsport, said, “We are immensely proud to solidify our relationship with Caterham Motorsport as the brand’s official tire partner. This builds on a working relationship that has lasted many successful years under the Avon Motorsport banner. Nova Motorsport and Caterham share key synergies as businesses; we are both focused on the specialist, niche and high-performance segments of the automotive and motorsport world. This multi-year partnership is a major strategic pillar for Nova Motorsport. It underscores our unwavering commitment to reliably supplying Caterham competitors around the world with the tires they need to compete and win at the highest level.”
Alex Read, head of motorsport at Caterham, commented, “Nova Motorsport is the perfect fit for Caterham Motorsport. Our products demand specialist tires, and the Nova team, with its heritage rooted in Avon Motorsport, understands this implicitly. The tires supplied are uniquely designed for our Sevens, meaning our competitors will directly benefit from Nova Motorsport’s renewed, dedicated focus on the Caterham product. We are fully confident in the quality and service our drivers will receive, and are looking forward to getting the 2026 Caterham Motorsport racing season underway with our new partners.”
