This year is a weird one. A lot of our day-to-day activities and things we see as “normal” have been altered or taken away completely. As we approached the end of October – things sort of felt out of place.

In the span of four years, the CSF Evo X has gone through a tremendous transformation. Purchased by CSF at the end of 2016, it went from a crashed Pirelli World Challenge car long forgotten and collecting dust at the back of GMG Racing, to being one of SEMA 2017’s stand-out builds. The media buzz circling the “World’s Best Evo X Ever Built” going into 2018 catapulted the car to three top magazine covers, numerous online features, and an episode on season two of Hoonigan’s Build Biology Series.

Everyone knows CSF as a cooling system manufacturer but, truth be told, that’s only part of the equation for us.
