TEIN Started to Support Rally America National Championship!
T. Foust won 2nd place in the opening round!
|
 Opening round of RANC 2007(Rally America National Championship) called "Snow Drift Rally" was held from Jan 26 - 27th in Atlanta, Michigan. The stages were literally covered with snow near Lake Huron, and the temperature sometimes dropped to 18 Celsius below zero. The deepness of snow was near 15cm, and without stud tires/spikes for icy surface that were not allowed in Rally America, the key to win the race was the choice of tires, order of race and suspension settings.
TEIN started to support top teams in U.S.A, too, and T. Foust was the driver chosen, who had an excellent record in a drifting competition such as Formula-D. The machine was Syms Racing team's SUBARU IMPREZA GDB-F. Although the driver and the team had just met, Foust won 2nd place with his persistent driving. |
Foust commented that although this was his first time to use TEIN dampers, he had a good feeling about them. This rally will sure lead them to the next round.
