RB Concept Asymetric cap

As seen on the heads of all the RB Concept drivers at last weeks 1/8th TT European Championships in France, this new cap from RB is called the Asymetric. Made from a soft grey high quality cotton, the hat features a large orange stripe working its way from the peak to the opposite side of the cap and this stripe sports the embroidered RB logo. Amongst other bold statements, this hat claims to “make girls and lap times fall” – powerful hat indeed.

New RB Concept R3 .12 engine

^ Click for larger image

We have managed to get our hands on the first information about the new, soon to be released, RB Products .12 touring car engine called the RB Concept R3. Rody Roem and the whole team at RB have been busy for many months working on this new motor and believe that it now reaches a new level of power while at the same time keeping the trademark drivability of the RB Concept line-up. This latest engine comes with a new bi-turbo crankshaft with a very aggressive timing, as used by the team drivers during the latest World Championship, and a new 3 port liner. The combustion chamber has been designed to decrease vibration and the fitting with the sleeve has also been improved. The R3 comes with a new lightened low profiled head to improve lower the overall center of gravity which aids the handling of your car. Expect to see this engine hit the shops in late June.

RB Products L2G Cooling head

RB L2G Cooling head

Lowering the center of gravity is a main concern for any driver and this is why the R&D department of RB designed a new lightened head for a lower center of gravity. Using magnesium was a first step, but the heat conductivity of this material is pretty different compared to the aluminium and that is why Rody Roem designed a brand new head to have more fins around the hot spot of the plug. This Light head fits any RB engine which comes with a separate combustion chamber: it receives a dark grey coating and the new L2G logotype. This head will be produced in a limited quantity as an optional part and will be available in mid May.
