Rally Car. More recently, the company has produced<br />

chassis and running gear components for several cars<br />

in the Championnat de France Supertourisme, including<br />

the Ford Mondeo, Opel Astra, Leon et Toledo, Nissan<br />

Primera and Citroen Xsara.<br />

So far this year, the company has been busy<br />

manufacturing chassis components for cars competing<br />

in the seventh edition of the Trophée Andros, this year<br />

held at Sherbrooke in Canada, and contested by ice<br />

racing’s most famous drivers, including Frank Lagorce,<br />

Philippe de Korsak and Jean-Luc Pailler. Cars featuring<br />

Tork components included the Opel Astra, Kia Rio, Seat<br />

Leon, Ford Mondeo and Fiat Stilo.<br />

The fact may have been lost on the 7 000 spectators,<br />

but a small French engineering firm shared the Fiat’s<br />

victory celebrations that day. Away from the noise and<br />

excitement of the track, the engineers at Tork quietly<br />

congratulated themselves and carried on building<br />

winning race cars.<br />
