Takashima D-13 Black Luxury Edition Spring Steel Chassis

Following the successful release of their spring steel touring car chassis, Takashima D-13 now introduces the Black Luxury Edition spring steel chassis which is finished with advanced DLC coating technology. Every difficulty became motivation for further development and improvement and due to the physical characteristics of spring steel, it is highly sensitive to humidity and salt in the air, making it extremely prone to surface rust. While this does not affect its performance, it can impact the overall visual experience for drivers. After extensive testing and multiple coating trials, Takashima D-13 ultimately selected DLC technology as the solution. This not only effectively prevents rust, but also transforms the chassis from its original silver finish into a deep black tone, while preserving the natural metallic grain texture. The result is a perfect fusion of industrial precision and mechanical artistry — the machining lines flow across the entire surface, giving the product a strong, refined presence. Paired with their upcoming 120° carbon steel 12.9 grade black colour TORX screws, it creates a striking and cohesive visual statement on the track.

Signed, sealed, & delivered – Orlowski is double TITC Champion

He came as a TITC Rookie last year and dominated, and returning to Bangkok for the 22nd edition of the iconic race this year Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski has just become a double champion of what many call the hardest race in the world. With the large crowd denied a showdown in the opening A-Main, Coelho’s challenge lasting less than a full lap as he crashed out, instead of getting the duel we all wanted to see in A2 Orlowski put on a display of dominance to become only the seventh repeat winner of the race. While the Polish racer pulled clear, behind, Coelho would come under pressure from fellow multiple TITC winner Akio Sobue before finally getting out of the clasps of the Japanese driver but such was Orlowski’s lead there was nothing he could do to keep alive the chances of a record 5th TITC title for this year. While A3 was expected to be just a formality to determine completion of the podium each side of Orlowski but Coelho would suffered a rear wing failure that sent his car flying off the track and into the tyre barrier, his race done and only 7th overall to show for his week long effort as Orlowski’s biggest challenger. With Sobue fending off the Awesomatix of Simon Lauter it was the 2-time TITC winner on the second step and former TITC Open Brushless class winner Lauter claiming his first major international modified podium finish ahead of Marc Rheinard.

Easy A1 win for Orlowski as Coelho crashes out

Michal Orlowski has won the opening A-Main at the TITC, Schumacher’s defending Champion getting the win a lot easier than expected as main challenger Bruno Coelho crashed out on the first full lap. Starting from second, Coelho piled the pressure on the Top Qualifier on the opening lap but on the first full speed entry into the sweeper at the end of straight, the cars having lined up for the start a lap earlier on the straight, he came in too tight launching his Infinity over the kerb and into the outside. Breaking a corner off the car, his A1 challenge was done much to the disappointment of the crowd lined-up around the track. While Orlowski gapped the field, the pressure now off the Polish driver, the attention was on the battle for second, Akio Sobue and Simon Lauter gapping 5th place starter Marc Rheinard. While Lauter looked like he might have something to mount a serious challenge on Sobue’s Axon over the final laps of the race, a number of small mistakes mean’t the Awesomatix driver couldn’t get close enough to attempt a pass. With Rheinard finishing 4th it was Viktor Wilck who was the top Infinity in P5 while Xray’s Jun Sawada rounded out the Top 6. In Open Brushless it was also an easy win for Top Qualifier Lukas Ellerbrock, his effort made easier by early contact behind him between Oliver Bultynck and Natthawat Rungcharat. With RC Maker’s Shimazaki Shinya taking up second he would later crash out allowing Rungcharat’s Xray through to second with Bultynck’s Awesomatix getting 3rd.
