Multiple MonTech New York Grand Prix Champion Sam Isaacs has been confirmed for the seventh edition of the high profile US indoor race which takes place at 360v2 RC in New Rochelle from October 16-19th. Forced to miss last year’s NYGP, having done the double winning Mod 1:12 and Mod Touring Car in 2023, the Awesomatix driver will return to the Donny Lia promoted annual race and lead the US charge against the international entry travelling Stateside this year. With French driver Lucas Urbain, Germany’s Max Machler & Jan Ratheisky, and British racer Ollie Payne confirmed for race, Isaacs will be looking to repeat the form he showed on the large 105ft x 48ft carpet track earlier this year when he won both the Mod TC and Mod 1:12 ROAR National titles there.

ZooRacing Wolverine Mini 1:10 M-Chassis Body

New from German body shell producer ZooRacing comes the Wolverine Mini, the smaller M-Chassis brother of their popular Wolverine Max 1:10 Onroad body. The 2 times IFMAR World Champion and 4 times EFRA European Champion in this new form factor is designed to push the boundaries of performance in the M-Chassis Mini Touring Car Class. The Wolverine Mini represents a leap forward in aerodynamic efficiency and handling. Lots of new features improve the handling, more contact pressure offers more stability in corners with lots more rotation. The aerodynamic efficiency has been improved again as well. The overall length has been shortened to achieve a lesser inertia and therefore a better rotation around the vertical axis. For more steering in fast corners ZooRacing has redesigned the front and hood and made them steeper. To easier steer the airflow along the sides over the rear wheel arches to the rear wing, to create more downforce, they’ve tailored the sides a lot. The rear is designed very even and uniform for a low centre of gravity and to ensure an easy airflow to the wing. For a consistent flow they’ve remodelled the rear fenders to minimise turbulences at the rear of the body. To achieve better aerodynamic efficiency they have elongated the roof and for the first time the windows at the side have an arch build in, to even out the pressure ratio of the airflow. The included Hellcat rear wing improves that even further.
