The Slice shirt brings a fresh look to the pits while being stylish and comfortable enough to rep the PF icon away from the track. The oversized front graphic is printed with a water-based ink that’s so light one can barely feel it, while the RacePF writing adorns the right shoulder blade. It’s all printed on a super-soft black tri-blend crew neck shirt for an easygoing look.

Protoform white Formula front & rear wings

Protoform’s recently introduced new V2 front wing as well as their 1723-04 rear wing are now also available in a white colour option. The V2 front wing features 3-way adjustability to suit any condition your track throws at you: a low-downforce option, a medium downforce with 1-element add-on winglet, or a high-downforce, 2-element add-on winglet for maximum steering feel. The tall wing endplates enhance straight-line stability and side-bite in long sweepers. Inspired by popular American open-wheel cars from the late 90s, PF also incorporated additional ground clearance at the outer extremities, especially important on U.S. style high-grip carpet. The rear wing is inspired by real Formula wing styling. This wing will give any 1/10th scale Formula car an unmistakable look on the track. The rear wing is a true multi-element design featuring slots in the side dams, just like the full-scale cars. The middle element features an emblazoned PF icon. Rear downforce can be tuned by removing either of the upper elements, creating a “Monza-style” setup for high speed tracks. The wings are made from sleek, matte-finished, ultra-durable nylon and will fit most popular Formula cars.
