Machined from high-quality Swiss 7075-T6 aluminium and coming in 0 degree, 2 degree and 4 degree caster settings, the hubs help to adjust the overall wheel caster and thus available traction and side bite with the 0 degree parts being recommended for medium to high-bite tracks, the 2 degree hubs are best used on medium-low to medium-high conditions and the 4 degree hubs excel in ultra-low to medium traction conditions.

BRCA GT12 National Championship Rd5 & Rd6 – Report

The final two rounds of the BRCA GT12 National Championship were held this weekend, at the Chesterfield Auto Racing Society CARS club in Chesterfield. The format for the Championship means the weekend was a Double Header, with Saturday and Sunday being separate rounds of the championship. Excellent turnout, and combining meetings with the F1 Indoor Championship, meant the event was competitive, and grip was good on track. The track the club had laid out was very flowing, yet surprisingly technical to drive, meaning that a good time was had by those of all abilities. Saturday’s racing saw close competition in the GT12 class. Andy Murray was the man to catch from the get go, with a lead of 0.6s in round 1 of qualifying, leading from Adam Mackman, and Nathan Goodban. Round 2 saw Andy extend this lead to a lap.This proved to be unassailable, with Andy taking FTQ, with 29 Laps in 370.57s. Adam Mackman took P2, with super-fast junior Dan Robins taking 3rd position from Nathan Goodban in the final qualifying round.

Xray T4’20 ARS Active Rear Suspension set

Xray have announced the release of their new ARS Active Rear Suspension set for the T4 2020 mid-motor touring car. The set was developed especially for the latest variant of the T4 and its design makes for a controlled toe-in change of the rear wheels as the chassis rolls during cornering, allowing to adjust the behaviour of the car by fine-tuning over or understeering. The result is an improved handling in a variety of conditions and thus quicker lap times if set up correctly. The set includes zero degree aluminium C-hubs, moulded hard composite steering carriers as well as all needed mounting hardware.
