Bridgestone Potenza

So we've had Pascal Wehrlein, we had Nico Muller, and for the first time, we also had Pepe Marti involved in the test.

They tested the Porsche on a dry track and then simulated some wet running on the new Bridgestone Potenza tire.

which again gave off optimistic signs.

We didn't see as much spray as we anticipated going into turn one.

I mean, I believe it's like an evolution of what they're doing with the Firestones in IndyCar.

something of that sort.

Yeah, the Potenza, the Potenza Typhoon.

It's a bit of an evolution on the Potenza.

She'd been strangled, and there were ligature marks on her wrists and ankles.

A tire impression was found near her body in the earth, which was identified as a Bridgestone Potenza tire.

April 4th, 2001, a woman, 44, was found near death in East St. Louis, but was paralyzed and brain-dead due to asphyxiation.

So she was not able to help them.

... oh, my goodness.

Police found that the walls and ceiling and even furniture in the basement had been splattered with blood.

They also found two cars at the house, one with a Goodrich Advantage tire and the other with a Bridgestone Potenza tire.

Two of the victims were found with tire marks either on them or near them.

And how are they gonna do this? Well, they're bringing a specific set of tires for the Gen Four era.

They're bringing the Potenza Gen Four, which is a Formula E version of the usual Potenza tire that they use.

But along with this, though, let me tell you, the more interesting proposition that was unveiled at their latest event in Rome is the Potenza Gen Four for Typhoon tire.

Now, it's claimed to deliver excellent stability and grip in wet weather conditions as well.

We will get to that because there have been some explosive statements that have been said, but I'd love to, uh, get this to you guys as well.

[laughs]

And, um, yeah, this, this tire, especially the Typhoon one, they both look, um, pretty incredible, to be honest, in terms of what they're claiming to do.

Obviously, as you mentioned, the Potenza is already, uh, quite a well-known tire, but obviously Bridgestone had to manufacture a specific version, um, specifically for Formula E because of, I believe it was the acceleration and cornering speeds that the, uh, Gen Four has to, that the Gen Four provides.
