Zoo Racing GOAT Touring Car body

Germany’s RC-KleinKram has announced that its Zoo Racing brand has a new high performance 190mm touring car body shell, the GOAT. Developed from the experience from the super successful Dogsbollox body it is a more compact and shorter design to generate more rotating for a more fluent driving.  Key areas, like the new, shorter nose and hood design are optimised and also the rear section is more compact and much lower to make cornering faster and have a stable rear at the same time.  The new and more pronounced rear spoiler generates more downforce, and gives the car more stability when exiting corners.  The more homogeneous airflow behind the roof reduces drag and turbulences.  New inverted fin design on the trunk reduces turbulences and increases static stability at the rear section and results a better approach flow to the new curved designed rear wing.  The rear wing design is curved according the body lines and has a stepped design to improve stability.  The result is less flex and more downforce on high speeds.  Handling of the GOAT body is less aggressive, than the Wolverine and rotates better than the Dogsbollox and produces a well balanced side bite.  Perfect for tracks with low to medium grip and modified racing.
