RB Concept black hat

So you race an RB engine but your RB cap just isn’t keeping you warm enough, then get yourself this cosy RB wooly hat.  Black in colour, it not only keeps your head warm making it easier for you to focus, but shows your brand allegiance with the embroidered RB logo on the front.

Michael Derderian to use RB Engines

RB Products have signed French racer Michael Derderian to use their engines for 2009. The former Serpent and Mega racer, and 5th place finisher at last year’s European B Championships, will use the latest .12 motor from the French manufacturer to power his Xray NT1. Michael had the following to say about the deal:

To me it was very clear, there was absolutely no doubt. RB engines dominated the A and B French championship this year, won the title in both categories and made numerous pole positions. Cherry on the cake: these engines have a very low fuel consumption and are also very easy to tune. As for the RB SpeedLine tires, I know them perfectly, I wouldn’t change for anything in the world.
