Roche Rapide P12-2016 alloy chassis & pod plate

Roche have introduced an aluminium chassis and lower motor pod plate for the Rapide P12-2016 1/12th scale kit. Both parts are machined from 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium and they come gun metal anodised and with silver chamfered edges for looks. Using the parts lowers the centre of gravity due to adding weight at the lowest possible area of the car while the increased stiffness makes for optimised on-track performance especially in high-bite track conditions.

Schumacher BTCC finale & KO GP 2016 – Report

The final round of this year’s Schumacher BTCC series was held this past weekend in conjunction with the famous KO GP. Saturday saw many drivers turn up to try and get their cars set up well, the weather was overcast but at least it was mainly dry, just the odd shower around during the day. There was heavy rain just as the track was about to close about 5pm. Sunday morning arrived and the drivers were greeted by a slightly damp race track. The weather stayed overcast and cloudy but dry for the rest of the day. As usual the organisers then had the open practice session for an hour and then it was into qualifying mode which was the regular format of round by round qualifying, with two from four rounds to count. This being the last round of the series and also ran in conjunction with the KO GP, the entry was looking very good with 10 heats of drivers booked in.

Mike Gosvig takes double Danish Touring Car title

In the opening Modified A-main Mike took an easy win and also the second final saw Mike coming out in front even though he ran on pretty used tyres but taking it easy allowed Gosvig to take the win and with it the overall victory and also the Danish title with one round to spare.
