SuperPro-Powered Supra by SATS-Cosworth Dominates at British Drift Championship

SuperPro, an Australian manufacturer of automotive poly bushings and suspension parts, has long had a major presence in the world of motor sports. The brand was recently in the spotlight for its partnership with SATS Cosworth, one of the world’s leading drift racing teams.

SATS-Cosworth had an impressive showing at the British Drift Championship (BDC), with the drift team’s SuperoPro-equipped Toyota Supra pretty much destroying the competition in the Super-Pro class after 2 action-packed rounds of drifting. Behind the Supra’s wheel was none other than Mark "SIDEWAYSBUFF" Luney himself, who’s made a reputation for being one of the sharpest men in the drift scene.cosworth

Although it’s tempting to make the connection between SuperoPro’s high-quality bushings and suspension components, it would be foolish to place all the credit on them—but at the end of the day, it’s a no-brainer that the brand’s parts definitely had a major impact on the race’s results.

What makes SATS-Cosworth’s performance even more impressive is the fact that the Supra Luney drove at the event was somewhat at a “disadvantage” when compared to the other cars. Firstly, it was heavier, weighing in at 2,800 pounds. It was also equipped with a T51R turbo, which is far less responsive when compared to what the other cars in the competition had. It was also significantly wider, thus making handling more challenging.

Established in 2007, SATS was founded by brothers Chris and Iain Arthur, who had some assistance from family patriarch Sandy, who also headed Sandy Arthur Training Services. Despite facing difficulty early on, SATS eventually came into its own, thanks to the acquisition of new drivers and sponsors, such as SuperPro.

Though SuperPro and SATS-Cosworth’s partnership is young by industry standards, it seems as if that relationship between the two is only set to get better, thanks to the quality of SuperPro’s products and their willingness to lend their support.
