Thats an impressive outcome! What I really like about this car is the fact that it was Near Production spec. I prefer cars on the tracks that are as close as possible to the production version.
Its a nice looking car too, unfortunately not sold in Australia at the moment.
Its great to see Kia trying to improve their image of a cheap as chips cars!

GranTurismo - Dont forget Lada! or some Chinese car makers ... they do make a bad car!

since they've been bought by GM, Lada cars tend to get better. they're even back in high-level motorsport (WTCC), the first time since the end of the USSR. but I totally agree with you about the chinese manufacturers. poor quality, stolen design, poor safety. time to improve !
the sad thing for Kia is that no matter how reliable their cars will be, they'll always be a "goods manufacturer".. a bit like all korean manufacturers.

Last article about the pro_ceed someone mentioned it being a bad car, when I asked why ofcourse there was no response, go figure! Quite a piece for a low cost.

This is awesome...im always down to see a car company do well. KIA can learn many things from this victory as well as us it for advertisements. You have to give Korean cars one thing(i drive a 02 Hyundai) they have very good reliablity among other things.
