EFRA seeking tire additive manufacturers

EFRA logo

EFRA got in touch with us to ask the different brands of tire additives, who wish to have their product approved for use at EFRA gas on road events next year, to send them samples of their product for testing. At the recent AGM, EFRA made the use of tire additive legal at 1/8th and 1/10th scale gas on road events but they wish to ensure that the treatments used are not volatile or toxic, hence the need for pre approval.

Picco Torque .21 EDO Modified on-road engine

New from Picco, the 2012 spec Torque .21 EDO Modified on-road racing engine improves the overall performance over its predecessor with particular attention paid to the very low and mid range acceleration. The components have been ‘hand modified’ by Edoardo Picco using his extensive experience and thousand of hours of testing. Reliability and performance have been improved while maintaining good fuel efficiency while the balanced 14mm ‘turbo’ silicone-filled crankshaft improves fuel flow and reduces weight. Other parts receiving attention include the hand finished hard chrome brass liner with tear-drop work on the ports and the hand modified rear back plate for improved fuel flow.

Sonic Nitro Engines V.12T 2.1cc TC engine

Sonic Nitro Engines have released details on their V.12T 2.1cc touring car engine. All components have been made from the finest materials to ensure high durability and reliability. Equipped with a 3 ports sleeve with ‘teardrop’ work and a CNC machined flat piston, the engine provides great power over the entire RPM range while having a very efficient fuel consumption. The 12mm turbo crankshaft is filled with a silicone insert to reduce the inertia and improve the fuel flow while the special back plate, the optimized crankcase and the the ‘knife edged’ aerodynamic connecting rod help even more to reduce turbulence inside the engine. A special turbo combustion chamber with a cooling fin and the super lightweight cooling head ensure best heat dispersion to keep the engine temperature at a moderate level. High quality Swiss ball bearings, a modern composite valve carburetor and a 5,4mm aluminium venturi complete this new high competition engine. All Sonic engines will be available from next week on.
