Forged Performance GT-R

All posts tagged Forged Performance GT-R

The Forged Performance team celebrated the end of our official track day season with what is always the biggest track day of the year: Thanksgiving weekend with the Chin Motorsports at Road Atlanta. We played host to 14 GT-R’s and had a really great turnout of customers, friends, and family. As many of you know, Forged Performance a veritable fixture at Road Atlanta and we spend more days on this track than any other circuit in the country. It’s our home away from home and always delivers an exciting weekend for those that attend.

What is most rewarding as a company, is to see a dozen Forged prepared GT-R’s making hundreds of flawless laps without any issues whatsoever. The care and dedication that our technicians have for these cars is second to none, and we never forget that our customer’s lives are in our hands when these machines are pushed on a racing circuit. With speeds exceeding 160 mph, we take no chances when it comes to maintenance and safety and our drivers are rewarded with hours of safe and fast laps.

On Sunday afternoon, a surprise visitor showed up in the Forged paddock: Mike Skeen! Mike is a Forged’s professional test driver and coach and also races professionally in some of the top series in the nation. He couldn’t resist hoping in a couple of GT-R’s and making a few laps with some lucky customers. If you ever get the chance to ride with Mike Skeen…do it. It’s an eye opener for sure! In the photo below, Mike is murdering the OEM brake rotors on Jack Wong’s Alpha 9 GT-R:

Hallet was a super fun looking track. The elevation change, rolling hills and blind apexes and track outs always make for an exciting track experience. Catesby and Leh continued to lead the field and both cars sounded incredibly, especially from a standing launch. The Forged Performance GT-R ran absolutely flawlessly all day, and required nothing that cleaning off the bug splatter from the front bumper. Catesby best time was a 1:20.7, and we took home wrapped up two more runner up positions.

I am pretty tired from running all around the infield taking photos, coupled with the several hundred mile drive to High Plains Colorado so I will keep this update short. We will be up at 5:30am and looking forward to having a few guest appearances it would appear. See you in the morning.
