Turner Motorsport keeping it on lock at Grand-Am KONI Sports Car Challenge at Lime Rock!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dayton OH, June 2, 2009 – The No.97 Turner Motorsport E46 M3 started by Chris Gleason and finished by Joey Hand brought home 1st place and continued bragging rights for FORGELINE! Dog fighting Andy Lally in the No.41 TRG/Magnus Racing Porsche 997 GT3; at the end of the 1.53 mile course at Lime Rock Park, Gleason and Hand had covered 135 laps with an average speed of 82.464 and a best lap time at 56.990. Trailing behind Lally was Turner Motorsport’s No.96 E46 M3 piloted by Bill Auberlen and started by Matt Bell. Bell’s spin and collision was only a minor setback as he caught up on his lost positions and Auberlen finished the race with 3rd place. The final 22-minutes were a nail biter as Hand and Lally we’re putting on a show for the crowd. These 2 drivers put on an epic showdown for everyone to remember and will be the conversation piece for many fans and enthusiasts.

This makes it the 14th KONI challenge victory for Tuner Motorsport and Gleason, at the age of 65, his 6th victory in the series. Turner Motorsport has always been on the forefront of cutting-edge executions to build their competition vehicles which are the same principles that are adopted by us here at FORGELINE. You can expect the same type of performance abilities from our wheel line. There is no question that FORGELINE has played a huge role in Turner Motorsport’s success in motorsports which is exactly the reason why they have used our products in various racing series over the course of the last 15 years. It should come to no surprise that the guy’s at Turner Motorsport are impressed by the product that they don’t just offer it to all of their retail customer’s, they recommend it.

I love watching the Koni Challenge and I love seeing those BMW's out there.

Also, the last Koni Challenge I saw, there was an e92 on the track! Nice

To bad Lexus (all toyota) puts not money into racing, cause I would have loved to see some "F's" out there, as well.

The BMW factory backed Rahal Letterman ALMS team E92 M3 is pretty sick. We had a chance to intimately check out this beast with our friends at RAYS Engineering at SEMA last year.
