RUNDSTRECKE AND SCHOTTER KW Automotive customers have bid farewell to the 2022 motorsport season with top performances. Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen in the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 are even world champions.
Six weeks before the end of the season, 22-year-old Finn Kalle Rovanperä and co-driver Jonne Halttunen win the world championship title in the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1. The DTM customers of KW Automotive Group also have reason to celebrate.
At the finale at the Hockenheimring, they crowned themselves with four titles: Olaf Manthey wins the DTM Classic Cup in the BMW 635 CSi, KW sales representative Tim Heinemann (center and right gallery) wins the DTM Trophy in the Toyota GR Supra GT4, and BMW Motorsport Team Schubert Motorsport has double the joy.

Victories in various championships
While some motorsport customers are still racing for their title wins and victories on the circuit, gravel, snow or mud, BMW Motorsport and Toyota Gazoo Racing have won important championships. The new BMW M4 GT3 customer sports race car showed itself from its best side in its debut year. The race car, homologated by KW with its five-way performance-adjustable solid-piston dampers, celebrated impressive successes in various endurance races and GT3 races.
From the race room to a real circuit
From the PC with the sim racing simulation Race Room to real motorsport is no longer an unusual motorsport career. In addition to numerous sim racing titles, Tim Heinemann, who works in motorsport sales at KW, has already won various one-make cups in the past and in 2022 won the DTM Trophy championship for the second time. This time on a Toyota GR Supra GT4 of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Germany powered by Ring Racing team with KW solid piston dampers.
Ford Focus ST optionally with suspension from KW
It recently became official that the current Ford Focus ST can now be ordered with an optional suspension system from KW. In addition to Ford, more and more car manufacturers are also commissioning the company to develop and manufacture suspension components.
In the customer sports program of BMW and Porsche alone, such as the GT3 race cars in the DTM, KW developments have been relied on for years.
