The Campeonato Español de Velocidad (CEV Series) is the traditional Spanish national championship, dating back to the days of rough street circuits through the towns. In the past two decades, the championship has grown far beyond its origins, to become the most important national championship in the world.

CEV is a major recruiting school for international stars making their way towards MotoGP; and a talent pool second to none.

Dunlop has played its own important part in Spanish racing since the street-circuit days, and continues to be an integral part of the new high-level paddock.

Run over seven rounds, the CEV series uses the same circuits as MotoGP, at Aragon, Catalunya, Jerez and Valencia, adding rounds at Albacete and Navarra for the well-subscribed entry lists.

As well as training riders, the series was also used as a trial run for Moto2, the all-new control-tyre grand prix class introduced in 2010, with Dunlop the sole supplier for the fully fledged World Championship series.

For 2012 the new CEV Moto3 class will run exclusively on control Dunlop tyres. Dunlop tyres are also seen in the two other CEV classes, Stock Extreme and Moto2.
