Following their sneak peek last week, Protoform have introduced their all new TR-12 1/12th scale body. Input from their team of drivers was used to improve the shape, while taking styling cues from a highly-successful factory-works hybrid LMP that made its debut at the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans, then went on to win 3 WEC series races. The TR-12 includes a large center ‘dorsal fin’ to improve high-speed stability for those ultra-fast modified cars. Unique spill-plate profiles and side air channels give the body an unmistakable look on the track while adding functionality. It fits all EFRA/IFMAR, BRCA, ROAR and JMRCA body rule requirements, and includes headlamp decals as per ROAR rules. The TR-12 is produced using LW .020” lexan with protective film and includes window masks and decal sheet.
