A dizzying 99 turns and 999 daunting steps didn’t stop the new Range Rover Sport PHEV from completing a world-first at one of China’s most famous landmarks. The petrol-electric performance SUV has become the first vehicle to climb the stairs to the natural rock arch of Heaven’s Gate. The challenge began at the bottom of the legendary 11.3km Tianmen Mountain Road (known as the Dragon Road). The showroom standard Range Rover Sport P400e took on the demanding course, with Panasonic Jaguar Racing’s Ho-Pin Tung behind the wheel and the Terrain Response 2 system in Dynamic mode. At the summit of the road, the Formula E driver optimised Terrain Response for the second part of the challenge, conquering the towering 45-degree staircase of 999 steps leading to China’s legendary Heaven’s Gate using a combination of Ingenium petrol and electric battery power.

The Goodyear Racing team head to the third round of the 2019/20 FIA World Endurance Championship with optimism after a very strong race at Fuji last month. At the Japanese circuit, all three Goodyear-equipped teams featured at the front of their class, with a pole position for the Jota Sport team and race-leading performance for the Jackie Chan DC Racing and High Class Racing teams. Ho-Pin Tung was the first Chinese driver to win a class at the Le Mans 24 hour race and is looking forward to spearheading Goodyear’s Chinese comeback. He has experience of conquering a very different driving challenge in China when he became the first driver to reach the top of Tianmen Mountain in a road-going SUV. In 2018 Tung took a Goodyear-shod Range Rover Sport to the peak of 99 hairpin turns and 999-steps at one of China’s most revered national landmarks. The video is available in our media section. This was his first experience of working with Goodyear engineers and he is ready for a very different, but equally demanding, battle this weekend.
