Bayer Xray

Xray have announced that multiple-Czech champion and European championship finalist Martin Bayer will continue to race with Xray in 2013. Martin has been an important member of the R&D team participating in the development and testing of the XB9 & XB4. Martin had this to say:

2012 was my first year with Team Xray. I have expected that after changing a team it will be like to start from beginning and it will be difficult but at the end it was one of my most successful years. Juraj is extremely dedicated and passionate about his work and inspires everyone in the team to work hard and harder and to reach at least 120%. We have been as team working closely together which is very positive for me and we have made big improvements on the car and still many to come. Working with the Xray Factory team is a pleasure and I am happy to re-sign for 2013. I hope our result will be even better and I will do all for it.

Xray re-signs Francesco Martini

Xray have announced that multiple Italian champion Francesco Martini has re-signed with Xray for the 2013 season. Francesco has been an extremely dedicated touring car racer and an important R&D member of the T4 platform. He had this to say:

During these past years I have got the chance to work in close contact with Juraj and Martin; their expertise and contagious passion led me to love this hobby more and more, and to chase perfection as the only possible result. Only those who know them can understand how strong and contagious is their desire to always improve. Martin’s further involvement in the touring project allowed the work team to get even more tight-knit. And now everyone works hard but with a smile on his face. Of course, also the development of the models has benefited of this mood. I think that our highest aim is to continue on this path.

Xray T4 graphite adjustable battery holder

For the T4 from Xray comes this graphite adjustable battery holder that allows for adjustment to eliminate battery play on the chassis. The battery position can be moved forward, rearward, inboard or outboard depending on the battery size used, allowing the battery to be positioned ideally for chassis balance and tuning needs. If heavy electronics are used, the battery can be positioned more outboard to achieve proper balance (or inboard for lighter electronics). The battery can be moved forward for increased stability or to the rear for additional steering.

I started to work with the Xray team back in September ’11. I can’t be more happy and proud of all the hard work we’ve put together in order to develop and increase the performances of the Xray line. For a long time I was looking for a serious R&D implication and improvement of the products I was working on. It’s unbelievable the capability, both human and technologic, this company enjoy everyday in order to produce the best quality and performance products. At every level, professional driver or basher, we can feel the spirit of racing is in the DNA of the house! I had a wonderful year, with many big achievements, and I’m really looking forward to 2013 to carry on our trustful relationship and push my results up to another level! Like usual, never hesitate to walk around my pit area for a chat, it’s always a pleasure to share set-ups, knowledge and experiences! I would like to take the most of this words to thank everyone at Xray factory and team for their support!
