Throwing back to the 1990s and the wheel that started it all. Twenty-some years ago, Forgeline launched a legacy by providing professional racing teams with a high-quality custom-made forged wheel, the 2pc RS, which was our very first product. Though we've come a long way, since then, we recently launched a new re-engineered modern 3pc version of that wheel, known as the RS3.

Pirelli brings its P Zero Racing Slick tires to World Challenge racing as the series’ official tire supplier in 2011 through 2015. P Zero is the ultimate expression of Pirelli technology on road and track, where the highest level of competition and security is considered to be the minimum standard.
Whether competing with factory teams at the highest level or with club drivers on their local circuits, Pirelli supplies over 50 racing series. In recent years Pirelli has become best known for its activities in grand prix, sports and GT categories where, in addition to winning many different championships, there has been a very direct technology transfer between P Zero racing tires and P Zero road tires.

Afghan Hands
How the American high-end fashion business is creating a design for a better life for the widows of the decades of conflict in Afghanistan.
“The first time I bought them in they were shocked by the sheerness of these things… and they were shaking their heads, saying ‘These Americans – I don’t know what they want!’”
The conflicts in Afghanistan over the last 30 years have caused up to 2 million deaths – creating a generation of widows and orphans in the country. But Matin Maulawizada, whose own family escaped to the USA during the Soviet invasion in the 1980s, has returned to the country of his birth to help some of these widows. Arriving from the US bearing designs commissioned by a niche-market fashion house, his company, Afghan Hands, capitalizes on the skill of these women with a needle and thread and is now not only earning them an income, but teaching them literacy and numeracy as well.
