2nd place for the turbo Rally xD

http://www.rallyxd.com/rallyxd/2012/01/snodrift-2012-finale/

Congratulations to the GReddy-turbocharged Sparco-Rally xD on it's 2nd place finish at the Rally America season opener, Sno*Drift, MI.   After overcoming and adjusting for a rough and slippery 1st day, the team re-adjusted, actually turning down the boost & power to gain better traction in the snow and ice.  With speedy service stops and great driving from ACP and navigator Jeremy Wimpey, the Rally xD was able to move up from 5th to 2nd place.

2011 GReddy Highlights

The GReddy Team has some great plans in store for 2012, but before we say good by to 2011, we thought we might recap a few memorable 2011 Highlights...

Back in May, we helped power the Sparco Rally xD, with a prototype GReddy Turbo Kit, to it's 1st Rally victory at the famous Oregon Trail...(see 5/16 post) (see video)




Then our very own #11 Turbo GReddy tC2 won it's 1st Street FWD Time Attack event at the high-speed California Speedway... (see 5/31 post) (see video)





We also launched our new more affordable RS Racing Sport Exhaust line in 2011.  (see 6/23 post) (see video)






And we re-introduced the ever-popular GReddy SP in the modern form of the SP Elite(see 8/1 post) (see video)






We also had some great results with our high power GReddy 35RX in Japan.  Clocking a new high speed record at the famous Fuji Speedway.  (see 9/20 post) (see video) look for more soon on this amazing car!





More locally we showed what a Tuned GT-R (specifically the GReddy GR43) can do up against other Tuned Supercars, in a Road and Track magazine comparison... DOMINATE!  (see 11/29 post) (see video)





And to cap off the year, we had the great fortune to be the first to tune the highly-anticipated Scion FRS (GT86) for the official launch...(see 12/1 post) (see video)






Happy New Years!
