Since it's inception, Forged Performance has been participating in competitive motorsports, Time Attack, and open track events. In 2008 we made our first entry into the Redline Time Attack series using our race prepared 350Z TT, and finished with 5 podium finishes and a track record at Virginia International Raceway. We definitely turned some heads in our inaugural season.
For 2009, we are campaigning our new 2009 R35 GT-R that has been prepared to compete the ultra competitive Modified AWD Class, and are looking forward to another winning season. We are off to a great start with our first competition event of 2009, with our 2nd place finishing at Autobahn Country Club.
Our reasons for racing is two-fold:

Our 2009 Nissan GT-R is the newest member of our stable. Although we didn't have intentions of racing this car, after a few quick laps around Road Atlanta, we changed our mind. In bone stock trim, we were approaching the lap times acheived with our fully prepped race car, in spite of the 1000 lb weight and 100whp power disadvantages. That was enough to gear the car up for competition in the Redline Time Attack 2009 Season where we'll compete in the extremly competitive Modifed AWD class.
2008 was the debut of our 350Z TT Time Attack car in actual competition. Our 350Z produces roughly 500whp at just 10psi boost pressure, while maintaining a slim 3050lb weight, including the cage and all safety equipment.
In it's first season of competition the car achieved 7 podium finishes, and overall Modified class victory, and set a new track record at Virginia International Raceway.
Running the Unlimited Class put us against some very competitive teams, but we still managed 2nd place in the National Points Chase.
