The EFRA Chairman for 1/10th IC Track, Franky Noens, has contacted us to inform everyone that EFRA will be very strict in checking bodyshells to ensure that they are indeed EFRA approved. When buying a bodyshell, you must always look if the homologation number is embossed in the body, preceeded by the word “EFRA”. If this is not the case, you will not be allowed to use that bodyshell at an EFRA race, even if it had been approved in the past.
