Dunlop Bridge

The Dunlop Bridge is a landmark advertising footbridge sponsored by Dunlop Tyres, located at several racing circuits around the world. The oldest surviving example of this bridge is at the Circuit de la Sarthe, the home of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The bridge is regarded as one of the most recognisable features at a motorsport venue, particularly the Circuit de la Sarthe and Donington Park, although the latter was removed during renovations for the failed attempt to stage the 2010 British F1 Grand Prix, and due to new racing safety regulations, cannot be restored.
In December 2025, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company announced that the historic Dunlop Bridge at the Circuit de la Sarthe would be replaced with a Goodyear-branded bridge as part of a strategic enhancement of the 24 Hours of Le Mans experience. The new bridge will be built on the structure of the existing Dunlop Bridge and reflects a strengthened partnership between the ACO and Goodyear, which includes upgrades to several circuit facilities such as the Goodyear Racing Club and the Goodyear Grandstand. To honour the legacy of the original structure, a collection of Dunlop Bridge memorabilia will be donated to the 24 Hours of Le Mans Museum. These changes form part of broader efforts to enrich spectator amenities and brand presence at the event.
Radio and television personality Chris Evans bought the Donington Park bridge while visiting a racing memorabilia auction in September 2012.
