Schumacher release first official images of Mi3

Schumacher Mi3

After many spy shots of the new 190mm touring car from Schumacher and much talk about it, the British company has finally released official images of the new Mi3. Schumacher appear to have taken their re entry into the top of the competition scene very seriously and alongside employing some big name drivers have made a very nice car which will be in the shops at the end of March.

The Schumacher Mi3 is the first next generation touring car. It will set new standards for 4WD electric touring car design. Featuring a host of design innovations and a unique ultra modern look the Mi3 will be the car to beat at race tracks around the world and the benchmark all new touring cars will be compared to.

New Crono buggy, not RC8

Team Associated RC8

Two days ago we showed this picture and asked if it was the new Associated and well what we know about the new RC8 pretty much ruled it out, like the fact that it uses C hubs and will come with a somewhat radical wing and body. So now there has been a lot of guessing concerning this picture, myself included, and it seems the front runner is that this is the new Crono and comparing it to a picture of the RS03 would seem to confirm that.

GRP release new clothing line

GRP, makers of tyres and more recently engines alongside Mario Rossi, have released details of their upcoming clothing line and it seems pretty extensive. Not only do they have their newly designed orange and black t-shirts, shirts, sweaters, fleeces, jackets and hats but they also have shorts and trousers. Pretty extensive and no very easy to show that you support GRP.

Made with input from Adrien Bertin, although how much influence could he have only being there a month is questionable, the engine is designed for use in your buggy or even your truggy. More information will be made available when its released.

Is this the Team Associated RC8?

Team Associated RC8

Our mate Philip over at Neo Buggy has a spyshot on his site and although he’s not giving too much away on what manufacturer it is from, you have to ask who is left to show their entry into this class besides Team Associated. The upcoming RC8 is eagerly awaited and while it will contain some parts from the Thunder Tiger buggy, it should be all new. When we find out more we will let you know.

UPDATE: We have been reminded that the new Asso will be released with C-hubs and this car doesnt appear to have them. Damn, so that means we are no closer to finding out who this car is from, perhaps Crono?
