Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to see a side-by-side impression of the Vitour Tempesta P1 against the Hoosier Track Attack Pro—both in 305/30/19 sizing. While this wasn’t a full lap-time comparison due to some car issues and track learning curves, the feedback still gave valuable insight into how the P1 stacks up against some of the newest options in the Super 200 category.
The test took place at Inde Motorsports Ranch. Fresh Hoosier Track Attack Pros were mounted, with initial impressions showing that the Hoosier came on strong early. Grip was available right out of the gate and felt fully online after the first heat cycle. In that very narrow "perfect" window, the Hoosier showed strong pace—maybe even a slight edge over the P1 under ideal conditions.
But consistency told a different story.
After just three laps, the Hoosiers began to fall off heavily, developing a greasy feel that only worsened over time. And this wasn’t even during a full 10/10 push—it was while still learning the track. It raised a clear question: if the falloff was this noticeable early on, how much worse would it have been under full attack?
The real surprise came in the wear. Despite only about 30 minutes total track time, the Hoosiers showed shocking degradation. Meanwhile, the P1s used the day before—already with over two hours of track time and 16 autocross runs—held up significantly better.
Price was another factor. Given the cost of the Hoosier Track Attack Pro, the wear and performance window just didn’t match the investment, even if it were allowed in 200tw classes (which, for most applications, it isn’t).
Further, one of the standout strengths of the Vitour P1 is its ability to recover quickly when pushed over the edge on a constant basis—something most of the pointy-end Super 200 options just can’t tolerate for long. The P1 isn’t just about one perfect lap; it’s about staying fast lap after lap, even when conditions and inputs aren’t perfect.
Bottom Line:
In ideal conditions, the Hoosier might flash a slight advantage early, but for consistent pace, durability, and repeatable sessions, the Vitour P1 stands out—and keeps delivering when others fall off.
The P1 was built for racers who don’t just want fast laps—they want fast laps all day.
If you’re looking for a tire that grips, lasts, and recovers when it counts, you’re in the right place.
