Protoform LTC 2.0 190mm touring car bodyshell

Protoform TLC 2.0 190mm touring car bodyshell

Protoform have introduced their highly awaited LTC 2.0 190mm touring car bodyshell. The next generation of the ultra-successful, but 8 years old LTC-R offers an updated front fascia design with a large, striking front grille for looks while on the functionality side of things, deeper headlight recesses have proven on the track to create more steering and downforce, increasing rotation and change of direction. At the rear of the body, the lower fenders are redesigned to be stiffer and less prone to body tucks. Included is Protoform’s popular wing design first seen on the Pro-TC kit and Dodge Dart, now featuring two trim lines for tuning to a specific class or track condition. Another feature of the body are mounting marks inside the scrap Lexan in the front wheel wells. Mounting positions are marked for 0 (neutral), +2mm, +4mm and +6mm to allow for easy body positioning, a feature widely used by both pros and club racers. As a rule of thumb; the more forward the race body is mounted, the more aggressive the handling will feel. The LTC 2.0 complies with the Global Body Spec rules, it is fully EFRA and ROAR approved and comes in regular .030″ and lightweight .025″ variants.
