Protoform Ford GT 190mm USGT body shell

Protoform have introduced their long-awaited Ford GT 190mm body shell for the USGT class. From the ultra-low stance, to the teardrop-shaped cockpit, to the never-before-seen b-pillar “side wings”, the Ford GT is the ultimate expression of form following function. Protoform has captured every detail of this mid-engine sports car that captured GT class wins at the 2016 24h of Le Mans and back-to-back 24h of Daytona in 2017 and 2018. The officially-licensed body fits 1/10th scale 190mm touring cars, with extra clearances built-in to fit over the front and rear shock towers. The distinctive side wings are add-on pieces that can be secured with the included hardware, shoo-goo or high-strength double-sided tape. New lighter-weight material lowers the centre of gravity of the USGT car, improving responsiveness. Each body also includes injection moulded nylon wing struts, a unique rear wing, decal sheet, window masks, and overspray film.

Protoform have introduced their all-new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 body shell for 190mm touring car chassis.

Perfectly suited for USGT Class racing, the officially-licensed Corvette body features all the exceptional details of its full-scale counterpart including aggressive front splitter, uniquely-shaped high rear wing, and oversized front grilles. The extensive decal sheet allows to deck out the body with Corvette-branded windshield headers, “Jake” skull hood logo and USA flags. New lighter-weight material lowers the centre of gravity of your USGT car, improving responsiveness.

The body is made to fit all the latest oval pan-car chassis designs and with multiple moulded in trim lines, it’s able to be mounted in such a way as to meet TOUR body height specifications for capped tyre racing, foam tyre racing as well as the ultra-slammed Saturday night “run-what-ya-brung: style of racing. The T-HD is a high downforce design specifically shaped for flat tracks. This design also incorporates signature PROTOform body science and aero-tweaks, allowing some room for fore and aft adjustment to find the perfect handling balance. The left side features a bumped-out area for added clearance, and the body comes with an add-on spoiler extension with mounting hardware, decal sheet, paint-then-peel overspray film and window masks.
