BRCA Clubman’s Championship Rd6 – Report

Last weekend saw the BRCA Clubman’s Championship headed to the Midlands for Round 6 at Stafford RCMCC. Not the biggest of tracks on the Racing calendar but a real favourite of the Clubman’s racers as it’s quite challenging and when you get it right you are greatly rewarded. There was a near full entry for race day and there were also 60 plus drivers practicing on Saturday, this shows that this series is so popular as we only had two rounds of the championship remaining. For practice day we had seven timed runs for all classes in heat order, so plenty of opportunity to adjust to track conditions. The usual three classes were running, 17.5 Blinky, 13.5 Open and Formula One.

Bittydesign LS3 GT12 bodyshell

Fresh from Bittydesign comes a brand new bodyshell for the 1/12 scale GT12 category called the LS3. Featuring an instantly recognisable look, based on a famous car manufacturer, it has been tested for several months with performance to match the realistic aesthetic. The design has been adapted to meet the specs of the GT12 class, the front splitter as well the side skirts have been moved many times to find the perfect height and compromise between air efficiency and realism. Tests on different tracks demonstrate very fast corner entry that remains stable through the steering range while the rear end is very stable thanks to the big wing that make the model particularly easy to drive. Universal, it fit all the 1/12 GT12 chassis on the market, but can also fit a 1/12 pan-car chassis. Produced in a lightweight version, with a thickness of 0,75mm, the body comes with a complete set of screws, nuts and large plastic washers to fix the rear wing as well as a decal sheet and windows mask.
