Guests experienced the amazing grip, traction and control of the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tire through a scenic, yet challenging route in the Joshua Tree National Park in three different types of vehicles: Ferrari California T, Mercedes-Benz C63 S AMG Coupe and the all-new Audi R8 V10+.

Accompanying guests were noted celebrities and professional drivers, including, Justin Bell, Keanu Reeves, Tommy Milner, Kuno Wittmer and Gunnar Jeannette.

Here, participants were treated to an educational, on-track experience with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, through technical sessions on the new tire series, autocross comparisons with the PS4S and other tire manufacturers, on-track lead-and-follows featuring BMW M Performance models. As an added treat, guests were offered on-track hot laps in a Nissan GT-R, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Acura NSX, Porsche Cayman GT4 and BMW M4 GTS, amongst others.
