I compared it to the picture of Malc. - McLaren MP4 / 6 1991 and I would say the sticker is about as wide as the PR number printed on the tire and that is also the case here. But i could also be wrong...

What is very strange is the picture of you with the yellow "Racing", that was actually only used for Nascar as far as I have read it now. However, I also found a picture on which this sticker was used. I just can't find it again. If I find it, I'll put it online!

No it is not Nascar, for sure as you have a center wheel lock nut and not 5 like Nascar, the pic comes from Kyalami 1993 ;)

Yes thats right, but the sticker with the "Racing" is normaly only used for Nascar ;)

By the way, here is another picture of the unknown blue sticker from Südarfika 1992.
Maybe a sticker due to customs / shipping directly for South Africa - one can only guess here :roll:

The Racing was also used in 1997, watch the pic i posted.
Yes the other badge has to do with shipping or logistic from Goodyear, not about the description of the tyre itself.

What I could imagine, however, that they switched to this sticker in 1995.
Until 1994 I find the B/W sticker!

1st picture is from San Marino 1995, 2nd France 1996, 3th from Spain 1997

You can never have enough pics. In the end there is still a corner that you can't see well in any of his pictures! :lol: :lol:
