Sebastian Johansson wins at Mini-Prix 2015

The Minicars indoor track in Sweden recently hosted the Mini-Prix 2015 for 1/10th Formula cars. It was the first race in a very long time in the central parts of Sweden so most drivers had never attended a Formula race before nor had very much practice. Running the race very similar to the ETS Formula class rules made for some tight and interesting racing both for the drivers and the spectators trackside. In the A-main Sebastian Johansson came out successful in front of fellow Xray racers Mattias Trotte and Alex Hofvander.

Orcan introduce the Push Box

New from Orcan comes the Push Box, a specially designed part to improve engine performance and mileage. Used in prototype form by Alexander Hagberg to win the 2014 IFMAR 200mm Worlds the Push Box is made to become looped in the pressure line between the exhaust and the fuel tank and it makes for a more reliable and constant engine performance especially right after refuelling when running with high fuel levels as it prevents the engine from running too rich.
