Federal Tyre, a popular high performance choice for driving enthusiasts, continues to balance its accomplishments throughout the motorsports field by claiming its winning title on top of the podium, as Team Federal driving enthusiast Singawa Takeshi, who proved all day that his Silvia S14 /Federal Tyre was the best drifting machine to beat, took home the prestigious award in the fifth stage of 2012 Muscle Challenge Championship.

  The MSC events are held 12 events at all corners of Japan from Kyushu in the south to Hokkaido in the north. Round five of the game found the sold-out crowd eclipsed attendance records for MSC Challenge Championship, as the 2012 season turned out to be the closest and most competitive chase took place at Bihoku Highland Circuit, up in the hills of Okayama Prefecture in the region of western Japan.

  Federal Tyre was successful in our quest to once again bring one of our team drivers a runner-up winner, while Singawa sun held the first two tops spot with a leading gap in points separated other competitors during the dedicated one-day race event. The pressure was substantial with a wide variety of unique homebuilt street legal vehicles mostly seen from Japanese drift spectrum took part at MSC event series. This variation in car styles makes MSC race very fun and worth to watch. Federal’s Singawa successfully attacked the competition at “Expert Class”, and took the second place overall.

“The battles this year seemed to be that much harder as everyone upped their game; but I focused in my relentless pursuit of the ultimate goal,” declared Singawa Takeshi. "I am confident we’ll continue to finish strongly as the set-up of running was well presented, and I can fully count on the tremendous consistency of my Federal RS-R tyres, as they did a nice job of showing the insane amount of steering angle to its limit." He continued.
