Motorsport History

The KW motor sports technology is applied by renowned and successful teams at numerous motor sports events around the world. Also, at amateur races such as the VLN Langstreckenpokal (The association of organisers of Endurance Races on the Nürburgring), rally events or the FIA touring car races. Numerous achievements, including victories at the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring clearly confirm the motor sports technology by KW competition.
