Goldie, XFWD K-Series Record Holder

Goldie set the XFWD K-Series record in 2021, at the very first race running a KDN shifter and Shift Selector. Four years later, in 2025, we reset the record again, holding the top spot the entire time with the same KDN components in the car. Consistency and engineering you can trust.
