Georg Plasa, German hillclimber, dies while competing in the Coppa Carotti in Italy ( 07.11.2011 )

It is with a heavy heart that we report that KW family member and German hill climber Georg Plasa died while competing in the Coppa Carotti in Italy.

The 51 year old hill climb expert was driving his Judd V8 powered BMW 134 at the time of the incident. Georg was a long time KW family member and had often used the KW 7 post chassis dyno to develop his world renowned BMW E36 as well as his most recent BMW 134. Georg and his team were consummate professionals and they were very helpful in the support of our brand by allowing the use of his championship cars for display purposes at events like our 10 year anniversary and the Essen Motor Show.

RIP and Godspeed Georg, you will be missed.
