Pro-Line Team Drivers, Ty Tessmann and Kyle McBride out at the Pro-Line test track preparing for the 14th Annual Dirt Nitro Challenge this next weekend.
Elliott’s first major race of the season is the Montpellier Grand Prix – this is an annual event which is the season opener for the European scene and is normally well attended by 99% of the top European drivers. This is always an exciting meeting to attend in the South of France and everybody wanting to see who is the fastest and to see any new changes to sponsorship within the drivers and one of the big changes for us this year was, of course, returning to Pro-Line for tyres. It is quite a major change in our opinion as tyres can be the key to getting the car working properly.
This meeting was going to be the first time Elliott has run a Pro-Line tyre since the middle of last year, where we attended the Pro-Line race, which he won. We had no real idea on how the tyres were going to perform at this track as our experience from previous years has always been, in our opinion, a low grip track and is normally quite cold so the traction is very low and the track very smooth. At the start of Elliott’s career he only ever used Pro-Line tyres, so for him it was back to his roots with a brilliant opportunity of re-joining such a great team and a great group of people behind us.
Day One – Practice
We arrived at the track with our bag full of tyres, which had only just been received a few days prior to us attending the meeting so it was a ‘suck it up and see’ situation to do some tyre testing. We tried the new Diamond Back M4, the Blockade M4 and also the Hole Shot M4. After some lap times being published and looking at the attitude of the car on the track and the grip level we decided that all the tyres were very good but for us. The qualifying tyre we opted to use would be the Holeshot M4, after setting some very fast lap times in practice.
