Only five wheels brands are seen on the Formula 1 race tracks and Advanti Racing is proud to be one of these prestigious brands.
Singaporean alloy wheels brand, Advanti Racing turns 15 in 2011, which also marks the fourth year of its partnership with Formula 1 race team, Scuderia Toro Rosso. To date, this is the only Singaporean alloy wheels brand to partner a Formula 1 racing team.
Advanti Racing is the brainchild of Mr Richard Tay, Managing Director of YHI Group, who created Advanti Racing in 1996 to showcase the alloy wheels production capabilities of YHI International Taiwan. Boasting creative original designs and superior production quality, Advanti Racing very soon gained popularity in the world.
As YHI’s alloy wheels manufacturing facilities grew, the YHI Manufacturing Group was born, with factories in Shanghai and Suzhou, China, Sepang, Malaysia, and Taoyuan, Taiwan. Advanti Racing wheels are manufactured in all factories in the YHI Manufacturing Group.
In 2006, Mr Richard Tay conceived the idea of entering into Formula 1, the pinnacle of motorsports racing, and through YHI’s business partner, OZ Racing SpA, talks began with Redbull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso. In February 2008, the official partnership contract was signed between YHI and Scuderia Toro Rosso, making Advanti Racing the first ever Singaporean alloy wheels brand to reach such an achievement. Today, Advanti Racing is sold in more than 40 countries in the world, making it the alloy wheels brand with the widest global network.
To commemorate this achievement, renowned wheels designer, Mr Edmund Breyton, specially designed the Advanti 15th Anniversary Wheel. This design features a classic five spoke style with a unique spoke curvature, extending from centre to tip. The Advanti 15th Anniversary Wheel is available in 17 and 18 inch, various offsets and in five lug applications only.
YHI is currently running a give-away on their forums, with a set of Advanti Racing 15th Anniversary limited edition wheels up for grabs! More information can be found on www.yhiforum.com.sg, under “Advanti Racing 15th Anniversary Rim & Tyre Contest”.
