Pirelli Kicks Off 2025 with Victory at the Jänner Rallye on Lengauer’s Skoda Fabia


Milan – WEBWIRE

Pirelli Motorsport has launched 2025 in style with a decisive victory in the year’s first rally. Pirelli’s iconic long P-logo tires powered Austrian driver Michael Lengauer to victory at the Jänner Rallye, the traditional season opener for European rallying held in Austria, attracting crews from across the continent. Lengauer, securing his second consecutive win at the event, finished over 28 seconds ahead of his closest competitor and claimed victory in 9 out of 19 special stages.

Terenzio Testoni, Pirelli’s Rally Activity Manager, commented: “We are thrilled to start the season with such a prestigious win. The greatest satisfaction comes from knowing that our tire range is not only the most complete but also the most high-performing on the market. It’s particularly gratifying to see even cars sponsored by rival tire brands choosing Pirelli products, especially the Sottozero Snow SA15, which has no equal in terms of performance. This success sets an excellent tone for what promises to be an intense season, with Pirelli competing in the European Rally Championship and numerous national championships alongside a host of talented drivers.”

The Sottozero Snow SA15, featuring 2-millimeter studs for deep snow, dominated the event. Drivers at the Jänner Rallye also used the Sottozero STZ-B, designed for mixed asphalt and snow conditions, as well as the P Zero RA9 super-soft slicks, optimized for mixed dry and wet asphalt under low-temperature conditions.
