NG LAP RC Model Invitational Race 2026 – Race Report

Hosted by Chinese Xray factory driver Vening Zhuo, the 2026 NG LAP RC Model Invitational Race 2026, attracted nearly 70 competitors with the 13.5T Pro Stock and 17.5T SuperGT classes seeing exceptionally fierce competition and they attracted most top-tier drivers from central China.  The lineup featured national champions Rocket Zhang and Vening Zhuo, rising star Harry Zhu, national youth champions Eric Fang, Jamie Zhou, and Mao Yideng, among others.  Free practice kicked off on Friday. As more cars hit the track, track traction kept rising, reaching an extremely high grip level that nearly sent vehicles sliding out of control.  Saturday’s original schedule consisted of split-group practice plus two controlled practice rounds, which was disrupted by sudden thunderstorms. The event organisers rescheduled one controlled practice session to start at 7AM Sunday, making for a tight yet thrilling race timetable.

Awesomatix A800FXR 1.5mm Top Deck Long

New from Awesomatix for its A800FXR FWD Touring Car is this 1.5mm Top Deck Long.  Machined from high-quality 1.5mm carbon fibre, the reduced thickness adds overall chassis flex, which translates into significantly more mid-corner rotation, especially in slow, tight corners.  This makes it the go-to choice for technical tracks where the car tends to understeer and where extra rotation comes in handy.  For larger, faster tracks, it pairs well with stiffer chassis options such as the kit aluminium chassis.  Awesomatix say the new 1.5mm Top Deck is not suitable for A800FX and A800FX Evo.

Takashima D-13 Mi10 Front Bulkhead Reinforcement Plate

Takashima D-13 has introduced this carbon fibre front bulkhead reinforcement plate for the Schumacher Mi10 Touring Car.  Available in three thickness options, 0.5mm, 0.8mm and 1.0mm, it is designed to significantly increase front-end chassis rigidity, reducing bulkhead flex under cornering and braking loads, and helping to maintain more consistent left-right suspension geometry.  The chassis benefits from a more direct steering response, improved steering precision, and enhanced high-speed stability, with a more consistent front-end behaviour during braking into corners.  On the other hand, the increase in front-end stiffness reduces overall chassis flex, which may slightly decrease mechanical front grip. On high-grip surfaces, this typically results in a more stable and easier-to-drive platform, while on low-grip conditions, suspension setup adjustments may be required to recover optimal front-end bite.  Overall, the bulkhead reinforcement plate is primarily aimed at improving front-end structural stability, delivering more precise steering, greater consistency, and a more predictable overall handling balance.
