Want To Be A Michelin Tyre Tester For The Day?

PH Competition: Win a great day out testing Pilot Super Sports


Not the Porsche Silverstone Centre...
Not the Porsche Silverstone Centre...
Fancy yourself as the next Stig, Plato or, er, Riggers? PistonHeads has teamed up with world-renowned tyre gurus Michelin to help them in their search for a tyre tester to attend the UK launch of the new Michelin Pilot Super Sport range.

The launch will take place at the fabulous Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone on Saturday, May 7th 2011, and one lucky Pher will get the chance to drive some cracking cars - if the provisional list is anything to go by. It includes a Porsche 911 Carrera, Carrera 4 and Boxster, Audi TT, and BMW 330 M-Sport Coupe.

The day is designed to put Michelin's new high-performance rubber through its paces using a series of dry and wet handling scenarios, and all within sight of the famous Grand Prix venue itself.

A Pilot Super Sport, yesterday.

Accompanied by an instructor, the chosen PHer will spend the day driving some of the best high performance vehicles around before enjoying a series of hot passenger laps in either a Porsche 911 Turbo, Audi R8, BMW M3 Coupe or a Lamborghini Gallardo. The day also includes breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, as we know PHers love a bit of free scram.

Afterwards, we know our fellow PHers would love to hear your feedback from the experience, and what you thought of Michelin's new Pilot Super Sport tyres. So it's your chance to experience what life is like as a journalist. (Only without having to take the massive pay cut... Ed.)

PS. Here's another gratuitous mention of the new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, just to show how grateful we are.

If I drive down from Scotland I would probably have just enough rubber left for a few laps, wonder if they would replace them with a new super sports set if I needed some road legal rubber for the way home...
