WRC competitors will be able to select tires from four manufacturers in 2014 after Pirelli registered as an official supplier to the Championship.
The FIA confirmed this evening that the Italian manufacturer will join existing suppliers DMACK, Hankook and Michelin next season.
FIA Rally Director, Jarmo Mahonen said: “We are obviously very pleased to have competition between four manufacturers next year, three of whom are already supporting our Championships.
“Having Pirelli return to the series is also very positive, and together these four brands will provide a great platform for open competition as well as choice and variety for our competitors.”
Pirelli was the control tire supplier to the WRC from 2008 until the end of the 2010 season and supplied the tires for the WRC Academy cars in 2011 and 2012.
