We’ve got major news—Andy Hollis’ highly anticipated retest of the Vitour Tempesta P1 is live on Grassroots Motorsports, and the results speak volumes.
The P1 took the top spot, delivering the fastest lap of the day against the best in the 200tw category: the Bridgestone RE71RS, Yokohama A052, and Nankang CR-S V2.
Andy summed it up best:
“That’s three strong laps in a row, a far cry from the single first-lap flyers we saw last year. Bravo, Vitour.”
This retest marks a turning point for the P1—showing not just raw speed, but consistency and durability on track. It’s another milestone for the tire that’s redefining expectations.
