IFMAR statement on Xtreme Aerodynamics CZ1 Nitro Touring Body

With the 11th running of the 1:10 Nitro Touring Car World Championships coming up this September in Gubbio, Italy, World governing body IFMAR have issued a statement in relation to compliance of the Xtreme Aerodynamics CZ1. It was found that the EFRA Homologation No. 2064 body produced in 0.75 mm thickness did not comply with the applicable regulations concerning measurement point “M”. As a result the current current CZ1 body carrying EFRA Homologation No. 2064 will not be eligible for use at the World Championship, regardless of material thickness. Italian manufacturer Xtreme Aerodynamics has accepted this decision and committed to manufacturing a revised version of the EFRA 2064 body fully complying with Measurement “M” (118 mm). These bodies will carry a specific IFMAR engraving identifying them as approved for use at the 2026 IFMAR World Championship. The Italian manufacturer has also committed to supplying these revised bodies free of charge to all competitors who intended to participate in the IMAR World Championship using the current EFRA 2064 body.

Futura Tyre Additive

Following the recent announcement of its first car kit, the Futura F1, the new Italian brand has released a new range of tyre additives. Suitable for both rubber and foam tyres, the range offers three distinct additives designed for different track and grip conditions. The Red labelled additive is the most aggressive and is ideal if you want significant, uniform, and consistent grip throughout the entire race. Blue is better suited for tracks that already have grip, where good rolling speed is preferred without sacrificing substantial traction. Yellow is designed for greater rolling speed on tracks that already offer high traction.
