The first round of testing was done at Road Atlanta following the 2015 Petit Le Mans race. Once the drivers provided feedback to the Continental engineers, a second round of testing was scheduled for Continental’s Uvalde Proving Grounds in March of 2016. The drivers tested various iterations of the ExtremeContact Sport along with the current ExtremeContact DW and competitive tires in dry and wet conditions, in addition to testing for handling, braking, and noise and comfort.
