KPower didn’t just show up to the 2026 season opener. We took over one of the most competitive classes in Gridlife.

At the Gridlife Season Kickoff at Carolina Motorsports Park, Falken Club TR delivered exactly what it’s known for after five seasons. Tight competition. Minimal gaps. No room for mistakes.

And amazingly, RWD K-swapped cars locked out the entire podium.

🥇 Stan Fayngold – 1:41.311 (Toyota 86)
🥈 Peter Granberg – 1:41.987 (Subaru BRZ)
🥉 Patrick Harvey – 1:43.267 (NC Miata)

Two different chassis. Three different driving styles. One common denominator.

KPower.

Club TR has evolved into one of the most dialed classes in grassroots motorsports. The cars are sorted, the drivers are sharp, and the margins are razor thin. You don’t back into a result here. You earn it.

That’s what makes this podium sweep matter.

The Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, and NC Miata each bring something different to the table. Balance, weight distribution, wheelbase, and driving feel vary. Historically, that meant tradeoffs. Strong in one area, compromised in another.

K-swapping changes that equation.

It gives each platform a more usable powerband, improved reliability under sustained track abuse, and a level of consistency that lets drivers push without second guessing the car. Instead of working around limitations, drivers can focus on extracting performance.

That showed all weekend.

Clean laps. Tight spreads. No drama. Just execution.

And when the dust settled, it wasn’t a one-off win. It was total control of the podium in one of the hardest classes to win in.

KPower isn’t just enabling swaps. They’re standardizing performance across platforms that used to behave completely differently. That’s why you’re seeing results like this, across multiple drivers, in one of the most competitive environments in the country.

Three cars. Full podium. No excuses.

That’s not hype.

That’s proof.
