Morotech Project43 Part2 6-wheeler pan car kit

Japanese company Morotech now have their latest 1/10th formula pan car kit available in the form of the Project43 Part2 conversion kit. The evolution step of the company’s original 6-wheeler, that made use of the layout of the iconic 1976 Tyrrell P34, features a redesigned carbon fibre main chassis, new simpler front ends with revised Ackermann geometry as well as a V3 power pod with red anodised aluminium parts. Unlike current formula chassis designs the Project43 Part2 relies on a classical T-bar rear suspension with upper friction damper pressure plates to adjust the side-by-side and overall damping characteristics. Other new features include a self-levelling front section, a flex top deck and a medium-soft T-bar. The kit does not include parts such as the needed F103-style rear axle and diff unit, centre shock, tyres, bodyshell and wings and several small parts.

Solaris Magic Formula C traction compound

The new Solaris Magic Formula C traction compound for rubber tyres is specially designed for the use on dirty, low grip tracks in low to medium temperatures. When used on a hard compound tyre it is also good for the use in high temperature/high traction conditions. Its special formula prevents excessive tyre degradation while increasing tyre performance and lifetime at the same time. Anti-static ingredients make the tyre more resistant to dirt and debris allowing the tyre to come to life earlier in the race. The tyre sauce is also good for the use on indoor carpet tracks and it only recently proved its performance during the EFRA touring car European Championships when Bruno Coelho took the vice championship using Magic Formula C additive.
