The sales professionals at Briggs Kia - the leading Topeka, KS Kia dealer - are impressed by how well Kia Racing is doing in 2011, and they know that everything learned at the track eventually makes it way back to production cars that people love.
After Kia Racing's second GRAND-AM victory of the year at Road America in June, the Infinity Audio Kia Forte Koups recently returned to the track in Kia Motors America's (KMA) home state of California for the eighth round of the 2011 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (CTSCC) season at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
The 2.24-mile, 11-turn road course with elevation changes and sweeping high-speed turns should make for an exciting race and play to the Forte Koup's strengths.
"Our second win of the season has given the entire Kia family cause for celebration, but we still have three races left to go this season," said Michael Sprague, vice president, marketing & communications, KMA.
"A big group of KMA team members and Kia dealers from throughout the San Francisco Bay Area are looking forward to welcoming the team to California, and after the success at Road America we are confident that the Forte Koups' outstanding handling and braking characteristics will match up well with Laguna Seca's challenging layout."
Co-drivers of the No. 12 Forte Koup ? Adam Burrows and Trevor Hopwood ? celebrated their 50th race start as a team this weekend hoping to improve upon their sixth-place finish at Road America.
The recent Road America victory propelled Kia's second-year motorsports program and racing partner Kinetic Motorsports to the top of the ST team and driver standings. In addition, the team's outstanding performance at Road America moved Kia to the third position in the ST engine manufacturer standings.
Kia Motors America (KMA) is the marketing and distribution arm of Kia Motors Corporation based in Seoul, South Korea. KMA offers a complete line of vehicles through more than 730 dealers throughout the United States and serves as the "Official Automotive Partner of the NBA."
