With the partnership, the driving experience gives participants the opportunity to drive a Ferrari, Lamorghini, Nissan GT-R and Porsche cars on racetracks across Texas that are all fitted with Continental tires. The program operates monthly at MSR Houston, Texas Motor Speedway and Driveway Austin.

Continental’s ExtremeContact DW, a premium UHP summer tire, and the ContiSportContact 5P will both be offered on various exotic cars. Additionally, a Porsche Cayman GT will be fitted with Conti’s ExtremeContact Dry Race tires, which are the same tires used in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge.

“We’re honored to partner with Christian and his team at Fittipaldi Driving Experience,” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for Continental Tire. “This program is an excellent opportunity for Continental to showcase the performance and handling of its UHP product lineup. If you are a car enthusiast, we encourage you to give this program a try. It’s a really fun day.”
