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.

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.
