flowRMX A800RR Conversion Kit

Coming from new French start-up flowRMX comes this conversion kit for the Awesomatix A800R and A800RR Electric Touring Cars. Designed by Alexis Banderier, the kit came out of his frustration after switching from his A800MMX to the R. While the A800R is one of the fastest touring cars on the market, drivers coming from the A800MMX found it tail-happy and difficult to trust Based on this Banderier went back to the basics he knew and redesigned the suspension geometry. He altered pickup points, lower arm lengths and lower arm front and back length difference (Front vs Rear) to bring back a car that’s genuinely stable without killing its rotation. The kit includes a custom stainless steel chassis, 4x flowRMX geometry carbon lower arms, and a full special screw set for Steel Chassis .

Urbain takes Q2 from Coelho at Asia Touring Car Championship

Lucas Urbain has TQ’d the second round of qualifying at the Asia Touring Car Championship, the Awesomatix driver making the most of the challenging track conditions to top the times ahead of Top Seed Bruno Coelho and Akio Sobue. With rain preventing any action at Hongyu GDC track yesterday, while a dry start to Sunday conditions would be much cooler and windier than Friday when it was Infinity’s Naoto Matsukura who took the opening TQ. With Matsukura posting a time of 19/5:07.597 in Q1, even with a round of free practice run to open the day and get some rubber back down on the track, Urbain’s TQ time this morning was almost half a lap slower with the French driver running 19/5:14.210 with Coelho just 0.145 behind. The top heat would see mistakes from a number of drivers including Matsukura who ended up P7. Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski also had a spin, after which he said his car was OK as he held station on track with Urbain, but the almost 21-second lap 3 meant his time was only good enough for P6. Another strong run from Infinity’s Ryosuke Yamamoto saw him back up his Top 3 in Q1 with a fourth ahead of Axon’s Hayato Ishioka.
