Xray have announced the release of their new ARS Active Rear Suspension set for the T4 2020 mid-motor touring car. The set was developed especially for the latest variant of the T4 and its design makes for a controlled toe-in change of the rear wheels as the chassis rolls during cornering, allowing to adjust the behaviour of the car by fine-tuning over or understeering. The result is an improved handling in a variety of conditions and thus quicker lap times if set up correctly. The set includes zero degree aluminium C-hubs, moulded hard composite steering carriers as well as all needed mounting hardware.

The fourth round of the BRCA Formula 1 Indoor Nationals was held at the CARS club in Chesterfield this past weekend. The club laid down a very technical circuit and in qualifying it was Schumacher’s Andy Murray, running a prototype car, who would lead the way from Carisma Racing’s Ben Cosgrove. A1 was a pretty unspectacular race up front with the top 3 holding their position, and also in A2 it was Andy with the win while Ben Cosgrove and Michael Lee (Xray) swapped places after a little error of Ben who was chasing down Andy. Ultimately Ben was able to hold onto the runner-up spot overall from Michael in 3rd overall.
