Team Magic G4JS Gas Touring Car

Team Magic have released their latest version of their G4 chassis, the G4JS, which is targeted at the racer who is interested in getting into gas race racing but is conscious of his or her budget. The total cost of getting into on road gas racing can be quite frightening for many so the new G4JS is giving many the opportunity to race a championship winning chassis for minimal cost. The carbon fiber and alloy parts have been stripped from the car, but what really matters is what is still included, great suspension geometry, super low center of gravity and a unique chassis design which gives the G4 its two time European Championship winning feel.
