…we had plenty of new prototypes packed with us and we wrenched on the cars from early morning until late at night, testing dozens of combinations and dozens of different parts and ideas. As expected (and typically), many of the parts did not give any improvement, some parts seemed to have good progress but would require a lot of more refinement, and some new parts showed great potential. The Worlds warm-up practice was very constructive and I was happy that we had a clear idea on which way to head. One of the most significant improvements was our new type…

…is announced, the option parts from 3rd party manufacturers hit the market. For you is this flattering or frustrating? Martin Hudy: For me it is simply logical. If I would design and produce aftermarket option parts, I would start with the most popular and most successful cars as well. On the other hand, I never suggest any customers to use aftermarket options for Xray cars. We are one of the very few companies that seriously develops and tests all its products. We spend thousands of hours on tracks around the world testing the new car and every single part of…

…them European, USA, or World Champions – were very active the entire year on testing new parts and ideas, and also provided valuable input that helped me to have a very clear idea of what we needed to change and improve this year. Because I am responsible for the entire Xray on-road division and take care of all platforms – including RX8, NT1, T4, X12 and X10 – my R&D and racing time have to be divided equally which is very time consuming and keeps me very busy. At the same time it helps me a lot in development as…

…nitro class is the complexity of the car – especially the engine & clutch – as well as the high expenses for racing in this class. It is a very sad but harsh reality. Red RC: Now for the NT1 2014 Spec. The NT1 platform has won the 2013 EFRA Euros B and of course the 2010 World Championships beside a long list of European and national championships. What can we expect from the 2014 version? Martin Hudy: The NT1 platform is our most successful platform when it comes to the amount of victories it has collected, including World Champion…
