XRAY Column – Worldcup Review and NT1 Testing

XRAY Column

Juraj Hudy has his new column, the fifth in this series, now online. He discusses the GP Carpet World Cup event that saw Xray debutant Teemu Leino take the overall win, but more interestingly his talks about the NT1 and its development. Whilst no giving away any details of the actual car, he says that it has been 3 years in development and has been start from scratch on 3 occasions. The NT1 will make its official debut at the Winternats in February.

Since the first debut of the NT1 will be made at the Winternationals in USA, our strategy was to fully utilize the benefit of our new private racing tracks and so we built the exact same layout of the track which will be at the Winternationals, letting us run and practice at the same track layout and work on the basic set-up.
