Associated RC28R Team Kit with Radbody & Tyres

Having entered the 1:28 market with the release of the RC28R during the Summer, Team Associated has teamed up with category body shell specialists Radbody to offer the kit with the Mako X body shell plus tyres.  Mako X gives Radbody’s most successful GT Body some revisions to make it a little more stable and precise in high traction conditions.  The Revisions include some ridges above the front wheel well and a lower rear window and wing.  The front end changes make the steering inputs more crisp without making it nervous, while the lower rear window generates more downforce.  This allowed them to lower the rear wing substantially, and when combined with the lower window the result is a car that stays more flatter for more high speed stability and better control in high traction conditions.  The Steel chassis RC28R with its fixed-arm front suspension created a huge buzz in the 1:28 racing community on its launch and the car will shortly face its biggest competition so far when it takes on established brands like Reflex Racing and RC Atomic at the upcoming PNWC.  The annual PN Racing World Cup takes place in United Stated this year at 5280 Raceway in Denver, Colorado, from November 6-9th.

Tamiya Group C Series Round 1 – Report

Round one of the Tamiya Group C Series took place last weekend on the beautiful Vallelunga track, 40km north of Rome, Italy.  Former European B Champion Riccardo Acciari took the win ahead of newly crowned 235mm National Champion Alessandro Manciocchi, with Massimo Cardelli rounding up the podium.  The drivers have been graced by two days of wonderful weather, which made for a pretty big attendance on Saturday as well. The debut for this championship, the race unfolded flawlessly despite some last-minute withdrawals due to the seasonal flu outbreak in Rome which caused the number of heats to decrease and the time table to shift slightly.  The race format – with one seeding practice, four 5-minute qualifiers in parc fermee regime and three 10-minute finals – proved challenging and guaranteed plenty of track time for each driver.  After seeding, Riccardo Acciari would be top of the list, followed very closely by Massimo Cardelli (3/100ths over three laps) and Alessandro Manciocchi. Qualifying wouldn’t be much different, with Riccardo putting together the best five laps in the first three rounds wrapping the overall TQ in front of Alessandro, with Massimo in third. Alessandro Bagagli and Emiliano Bartolini (both winners of national titles in various classes) wrapped up the top five.
