Zestino competition tires help you stand on competition podiums

We are proud to announce Zestino-sponsored drivers’ stellar performances at Hotpit Autofest Round 2—one of the West Coast’s premier Pro-Am drifting competitions—held at Kern Raceway in Bakersfield. This highly anticipated event brings together top amateur and professional drifters from across the region, delivering intense tandem battles, technical layouts, and a true test of driver precision and high-performance motorsport tires.

Congratulations to Zestino-sponsored driver Blaize Potts for battling his way to victory and securing the Round 2 Champion title with flawless qualifying runs and composed tandem executions that impressed judges and spectators alike. A big shoutout also goes to fellow Zestino-backed driver Rudy Hansen, who demonstrated remarkable consistency and car control throughout the bracket to earn a well-deserved second-place podium finish.

Both drivers relied exclusively on the Zestino Acrova 07A drifting tires—our premium semi-slick competition tire engineered specifically for drift racing. On the demanding Kern Raceway course, where throttle modulation, rapid transitions, and sustained high-angle drifts are critical, the Acrova 07A delivered the grip stability and predictability needed to perform at the highest level.

The Zestino Acrova 07A features a specialized racing compound, reinforced sidewall structure, and drift-optimized tread design, providing strong forward bite, consistent heat cycle performance, responsive steering feedback, and controlled breakaway characteristics. Designed for professional drift teams, Pro-Am competitors, grassroots drivers, and performance enthusiasts alike, it continues to prove itself as a trusted solution in competitive drifting environments.

As Zestino expands its global motorsport presence, we actively support drift teams, racing tire distributors, performance tire wholesalers, and independent dealers seeking high-demand semi-slick drift tires and competition-grade motorsport solutions. Results like this reinforce our commitment to delivering reliable, podium-proven racing tires for drivers who demand performance under pressure.
