Anti is ZooRacing’s new high-performance touring car body. Developed from the experience with the super successful Wolverine body, but with more overall downforce and a more stable rear in mind. Key areas, like a super low nose, a steeper bonnet and arch-designed side windows were carefully optimised. The main body has a more wedge design to improve the airflow to the rear and creates a lot more downforce. For a more fluent handling, the Anti has a little more stretched cabin as well as a homogeneous airflow behind the roof to reduce drag and turbulences. New inverted fin design on the trunk reduces turbulences and increases static stability at the rear section, which results in a better airflow to the new designed rear wing. The rear wing design is curved accordingly to the body lines and has a step/fin design to improve stability. The result is less flex and more downforce on high speeds.

This weekend the first round of the AMSCI National Championship took place on the MonacoRC Arena indoor track. Thanks to the asphalt surface of the MonacoRC Arena it was possible to see consistent performance with excellent grip for both days of competition. The event was open to 5 classes, Touring Stock 13.5 F1, Touring Stock 13.5 F2, Modified Touring, Touring FWD 17.5 and F1 21.5. In the Touring Stock 13.5 F1 class, the poleman Federico Barbieri, following an unfortunate first final, managed to take home the victory followed by the ever faster Filippo Domanin who despite his very young age is getting us used to seeing him always high in the standings. Andera Simari completed the podium.

The race kicked off the 2022 sporting season of the Italian RC Car Racing Federation ACI Sport. In GT12, traditionally run in Italy according to BRCA rules (homologated GT12 chassis, 13.5T motors, homologated GT12 bodyshells and Control Tyres), Mattia Dall’Oca (Team Schumacher) showed some rediscovered form and after losing out the TQ to Luca Tassinari during the qualifiers, drove flawlessly in the finals to take the win ahead of Alberto Montecchi (Mon-tech Racing) and Davide Mischiatti (Team Schumacher).

Bittydesign have released a new product for the 1/10 GT 190mm segment, the all the Ahura body shell. This project was born from the desire to create a body shell outside the box thanks to a futuristic aesthetic, proportions and shapes that make it unique. The body shell is universal and mounts on all 1/10 190mm models, while the wing complies with the measurements as per USGT regulation and can therefore be used at any race. The shapes inspired by a GT3 racing car have been adapted to the proportions and dimensions necessary for use with the 190mm electric models. The design phase took several months to finish every single detail, the attention to detail was obsessive in order to produce a body that could optimise aerodynamics and at the same time remain real in its proportions and aesthetics.
