Capelli F1-RR 1:10 Formula 1

We love nothing more than a passion product and it is super exciting to see this one, the Capelli F1-RR 1:10 Formula 1, coming Victoria, Australia. A project brought to fruition by Ryan Capel, it was designed and manufactured ‘In a shed, literally’. The origin of this project started with Capel’s passion for 1:12 Pan car racing. He wanted to race 1:10 F1 but lacked enthusiasm towards rubber tyres, so decided to construct a chassis that could race on small diameter foam tyres. (40mm – 52mm). Racing on asphalt in Australia means 5mm minimum ride height, this is not achievable with any chassis on the market today, whilst using 42mm rear foam tyres. Testing thus far has seen lap times on par with 1:12 chassis on asphalt. While currently a very limited range of F1 foam tyres / wheels exist in varying shores and compounds but this is something Capel is working to bring to market.
