The Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Sailing Team, the winner of the PRADA Cup, has raced in New Zealand led by Team Director and Skipper Max Sirena at the 36^th America’s Cup presented by PRADA: the world’s oldest sporting trophy and the most coveted on the international sailing scene.

A unique full-sized replica of Pirelli F1 show tyres, with labels recalling the colours of the Italian flag, signed by 21 members of the Team Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sailing team, including the Team Director, Max Sirena and the two helmsmen Francesco Bruni and James “Jimmy” Spithill — who is the most winning Helmsman off all-time in America’s Cup history.

This ‘tricolore’ show tyre is money-can’t-buy memorabilia linking the exciting adventure of the 36° Americas Cup to Pirelli’s long-term commitment as an exclusive tyre supplier to the FIA F1 World Championship.
