Coelho cruises to A1 win at Asia Touring Car Championship

Bruno Coelho cruised to victory in the opening A-Main of the Asia Touring Car Championship, the Infinity driver ending up with a one & a half second advantage over Lucas Urbain who came under pressure from a hard charging Michal Orlowski.  As the Top Qualifier, Coelho would break clear of the field over the opening lap of the large Hongyu GDC track, helped by Urbain having to battle his own Awesomatix as it got out of shape.  Starting from 3rd, Naoto Matsukura also had to fight with his car first allowing 6th place starter Orlowski through for 3rd before a second off, in which he got stuck in the track’s infield, dropped the Japanese driver to last.  Schumacher’s Pekko Iivonen was the benefactor finishing P4 ahead of Infinity’s Ryosuke Yamamoto.  In the opening 13.5T Stock A-Main, it was the prototype ARC of Enrico Jung who took the win ending Xray’s qualification domination.  Having secured the TQ, Shin Sawada would, after a jump start, spin out on the opening lap allowing Xray team-mate Jan Ratheisky go to the front.  Passed by Jung, he soon found himself back in front as Jung got crossed up but it wasn’t for long as the 3rd place qualifier again got to the front where he would stay to the end to win comfortably by 2.8 seconds from Ratheisky and Martus Benetin.

Another season of IFMAR World Championships wrapped up in Chile last weekend with 1:8 Onroad the fourth & final race of 2025.  While IFMAR’s original World Championship would attract a small entry, that didn’t take away from the racing at the front with qualifying ending with cars from four different manufacturers making up the new for 2025 Direct to Final Top 4 qualifiers.  For the 1-hour final that number would grow to 5 as Shepherd’s Tim Wood won the Last Chance Qualifier to represent the now British owned brand as the 11th car on the grid.  Statistics compiled by IFMAR, this the 24th running of the title race, would show Mugen Seiki as the most popular chassis ahead of Capricorn and Shepherd who tied for second.  Racing around the very large CACH, the most common source of power came from Ielasi Tuned followed by Max Power, who thanks to Shoki Takahata make it back to back engine World titles.  In terms of radios used, Sanwa was the choice of over 50% of the drivers.  With 2 X Mugen Seiki, 2 X Capricorn, 2 X Shepherds, and one Serpent and Xray each, we managed to get our hands on 8 cars from the five manufacturers represented in the final.

BoostRC A800 Spring Steel Chassis ‘Black Edition’

New Italian start-up BoostRC has introduced a new ‘Black Edition’ Spring Steel Chassis for the popular Awesomatix A800R | RR 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  Recommended for use when racing on indoor carpet and asphalt with medium to high grip racing conditions, the chassis was developed through extensive CAD optimisation and on-track testing.  Machined from high-grade spring steel, delivering a driving feel that is both smoother and more controlled compared to the standard carbon fibre version, thanks to the material’s elastic properties, the spring steel chassis provides more linear and predictable handling.  It also increases traction without unwanted snap reactions and gives greater consistency through rapid direction changes.  Its refined flex characteristics help the car maintain a lower centre of gravity and improved overall weight balance, allowing drivers to confidently carry more speed through technical corner sequences. Visually, the chassis features a distinctive black finish and a layout that gives the A800R platform an aggressive, high-end appearance.  The chassis is supplied with custom Torx T10 screws, provided in quantities exceeding the required amount to ensure spares are available.

RTRC RTA V3 1:28 Chassis Set

With a lot of buzz being generated around 1:28 racing in 2025, the new car releases continue to roll out this time with France’s RTRC announcing their upcoming kit release, the RTA V3.  The car already has a winning pedigree with Thomas Robin taking the car to victory in Pan Open at the recent PN Racing World Cup in Colorado.  With the RTA the centre of gravity has been significantly reworked, as well as the weight distribution.  The chassis is now machined in a solid block, ensuring minimal assembly tolerances and increased rigidity.  A new LiPo orientation means the chassis corners much flatter for improved cornering speed.  The centrally mounted servo provides more precise left-right balance, and the Ackermann geometry has been designed symmetrically, even with links of different lengths.  The car gets a new front end which is 4 mm wider, making it both more stable and more efficient.  The new-generation motor mount features a lower center of gravity thanks to the motor being lowered by several millimetres.  New-generation side links offer numerous advantages including allowing for perfect chassis alignment adjustment and helping reduce play in the rear end thanks to the use of ball cups.  A precise hydraulic system is included with the kit, providing exceptional damping on multiple axes.  The differential is the result of a completely innovative design, unique on the market.  It features a thrust bearing and two ball bearings for maximum smoothness, even when tightened.  The differential is supplied with a titanium shaft.
