PIP-Aero ‘ThreeThirty’ 1:5 Body ‘Aero+’ front splitter

German body shell producer PIP-Aero has created a new front aero package for the ‘ThreeThirty’ 1:5 Touring Car body it released last August in the form of the ‘Aero+’. While their standard Front Piece provides a solid baseline for airflow and moderate downforce, the new “AERO+” Front Piece elevates the Body dynamics to an entirely new level. The primary goal of this development was to significantly increase front-axle efficiency for higher cornering speeds. The “AERO+” design differs from the standard concept through two critical modifications – Attack Angle, and Extended Front Splitter. The front section features a much steeper inclination against the wind. This does more than just optimise drag, it directs airflow more effectively over the bodywork to minimise turbulence. The enlarged splitter creates a massive pressure differential. By stalling air on top of the lip while accelerating the flow beneath it, the component generates a powerful vacuum effect. This aerodynamic overhaul delivers significantly higher downforce, sharper steering response, and maximised front-end grip To adapt to different track characteristics, the front section is available in 1,0mm and 1,5mm thickness.

Takashima D-13 Touring Car DLC Coated Shock Shafts

Takashima D-13 has announced the release of its new DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated shock shafts which are now entering full-scale production for a range of touring car and drift platforms. Developed to improve suspension efficiency and consistency, the new shafts are designed as a direct upgrade for demanding track use. The application of DLC coating delivers a significant reduction in surface friction, allowing for smoother shock action and improved response, especially over fine surface irregularities. At the same time, the coating provides increased surface hardness and wear resistance, helping to maintain consistent damping performance over extended use. Manufactured to tight tolerances, the D-13 DLC shock shafts ensure precise fitment across multiple platforms, offering racers and drivers a durable and performance-focused option.
