In the form of the racing suspension program KW competition, KW automotive is committed to a variety of racing sport series all over the world to gather further experience for its suspension program and to provide customers with the best technology possible. The American "Formula Drift Series" is one of the most spectacular racing series. In the recently ended Season 2007, KW competition collected three placings under the top five. This makes KW automotive the most successful suspension manufacturer in the Formula Drift!
Chris Forsberg of Maxxis Tire Drift Team, who drove a Nissan 350 Z, can be thoroughly pleased with himself collecting the Runners-Up title. He won round 2 (Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia) and round 5 (Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California).
Daijiro Yoshihara drove this saison for the team Rockstar and took 3rd place with his Nissan 240SX S15. In 2007 he finished first in two events, in round 4 (Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington) and round 6 (Wall Speedway, New Jersey).
Samuel Hübinette from the Mopar Team - who won with his Dodge Charger Hemi V8 round 3 at Summit Point Raceway, West Virginia - finished on fifth place in the overall standings rounding off the big success of KW competition.
