Bridgestone celebrates Potenza tyre at One Lap of America

Bridgestone Americas celebrated its Potenza tyre line’s 45th anniversary by competing in the recent 40th running of the Tire Rack One Lap of America event.

Team Potenza Race and Team Potenza RE-71RS participated in the eight-day, 3,500-mile event, known as one of the most difficult endurance challenges in the United States.

This cross-country event spans 15 states and includes time attack trials at some of America’s most famous racetracks.

Teams spend nearly 24 hours a day making the grueling journey and pushing the tyres’ performance and durability to the limit across multiple courses and thousands of miles.

This year marked the 45th anniversary of Bridgestone’s Potenza tyre line, which is said by the company to have been engineered “to bring the thrill, passion and performance of the racetrack to everyday drivers”.

Prior to the event, Bridgestone said its participation in One Lap of America offers the opportunity to highlight high-performance products that are designed to deliver wins both on and around the track that empower everyone to perform at their best.
