ViTour Tempesta P1 Helps Sam Victor Secure 2nd Place at Goodguys Lonestar AutoX Shootout

First impressions don’t get much better than this. In his first-ever outing on the ViTour Tempesta P1 tires, driver Sam Victor took home a 2nd place finish at the Goodguys Lonestar AutoX Shootout—beating out a competitive field that included a C5 Corvette with more advanced suspension and aero components.

Sam spent the weekend dialing in his setup to match the characteristics of the Tempesta P1s. “As expected, they got better and better with heat,” he noted, emphasizing how the tires came alive as the laps piled on. By day two, with the setup refined, the grip and confidence were fully there.

“The tires were killer once I got the setup more sorted,” Sam said. Despite facing a technically superior car, his smart adjustments and the performance of the Tempesta P1s helped close the gap and ultimately land him on the podium.

For a first outing, the results speak volumes—not only about Sam’s driving ability but also about the race-bred potential of the ViTour Tempesta P1. With more seat time and further tweaks to his setup, Sam is confident there's even more to unlock.

“I’m already very happy with the switch,” he added. And from the looks of it, this is just the beginning.
