Protoform Chevy Corvette C7.R 190mm body shell

Protoform brings Corvette Racing’s championship heritage to USGT class racing with the officially-licensed Corvette C7.R race body. From the signature Corvette muscular stance and swept-back roofline, to the large front splitter and side vents, every detail of the full-scale race car is captured to add scale realism to the world of 1:10 scale 190mm touring cars. The extensive decal sheet helps to deck out the biddy with Corvette branded windshield headers, “Jake” skull hood logo, number plates, and USA flags. Included with the body is an add-on rear wing with the USGT-sanctioned 10mm trim height, nylon wing struts, and mounting hardware. The body fits popular 190mm touring cars and is formed from high quality .030″ polycarbonate.

3DRC Aero 190mm touring car rear wings

3DRC have introduced their new Type A and Type B Aero rear wings for 190mm touring cars. The 3-D-printed downforce enhancers sport a full scale motorsport inspired design with dual flaps and inner plates that reinforce the whole structure while also guiding the airflow. The Type A wing features rearward shaped elements which make for a steeper angle in the middle and a lower angle on the sides while the Type B wing has forward bend flaps for a lower centre angle, giving the two wings different aerodynamic characteristics. Both are made for touring car bodies with 100mm screw distance, they feature 40x20mm side plates, double mounting holes for easy fore and aft adjustment, and at 10g they are light of weight. Strong and flexible yet not as forgiving as polycarbonate wings the parts are intended for the more experienced driver and like all 3DRC products they are available through Shapeways.

Timezone GP/Sven Boehringer Family Reunion – Report

The 9th Annual Timezone Grand Prix was held in Battleground, Washington at the world famous, “The Backyard” track. The event is now known as the Sven Boehringer Family Reunion Race named after Sven Boehringer, who touched the lives of countless racers and a dear friend to many, passed away last year. The event was held in his memory and is now perhaps the greatest race on earth with friends and family arriving from all over the world to attend this great race. Behind the organization of Ryan Newbury and the track/property owner, the St Cyr family, the event was a huge success selling out in just eight minutes after open registration. It was only four years ago when the entry count was just 75 and now it has grown to maximum capacity capped limit of 200. Just by word of mouth, it has become The Race to attend because of the unique, challenging track and amazingly relaxed atmosphere. There’s no race like it and from the words of Rick St Cyr, “The Woodstock of RC Racing”. It reminds us of what racing is supposed to be … friends, family, and most importantly fun.
