BMT 081 Rally Game chassis

Long standing Italian manufacturer BMT are close to releasing their latest Rally game chassis, the 081. This new chassis has completely revised geometry, better weight distribution and a lower centre of gravity compared its predecessor. The car, in the hands of super quick Italian racer, Francesco Tironi, was used to win the RG class at last weekends Kyosho/ Sirio Cup in Greece. Due to the country’s rules, Tironi had fitted a 2 speed gearbox to his car, something that is normally not allowed in the rules, and despite breaking a 1st gear in the race was able to stay out in front and take home the win.

Kyosho Inferno GT2 McLaren F1 GTR

Just 28 of the 107 McLaren F1 supercars produced in the 90’s were allocated for the “GTR” racing program, which included the F1 GTR of Kokusai Kaihatsu Racing. In 1995 during its first year racing the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the F1 GTR dominated the entire field including the prototypes, which are usually the overwhelming favorites to win. The Kaihatsu Racing entry won the overall championship and the F1 GTR took four of the top five overall finishing positions. Recognizing the importance of the victory and its historical significance, McLaren took the car back to their facility and it was never raced again. The newest version of the Inferno GT2 features a faithful reproduction of this legendary McLaren F1 GTR. The body is factory licensed by McLaren to ensure the quality and appearance meets the demanding McLaren standards.
