We’re excited to announce that Black Bear Tyres Australia is the Major Sponsor of the Class 2 Cup at this year’s Rainbow Rises 240, happening this August!

​

As a brand built on performance, durability, and true off-road capability, we’re proud to support Australia’s off-road racing community — especially events that champion grassroots competition, raw skill, and the adventurous spirit that defines our industry.

​

💙 A Tribute to Frank De Luca

This sponsorship means more to us than just putting
our name on a trophy. The 2025 Black Bear Tyres
Australia Class 2 Cup is dedicated in memory of our
late brother, Frank De Luca — a passionate supporter
of the sport — and the eldest of 2 brothers behind
Black Bear Tyres Australia's journey.

​

Before his passing in 2021, Frank had begun laying
the foundations for our first official off-road event. He believed deeply in building a community where racers felt supported, where newcomers were welcomed, and where sportsmanship thrived.

​

Sponsoring the Class 2 Cup is our way of honouring Frank’s legacy and continuing his mission — to bring back the love, excitement, and unity this sport deserves.
