Team Kyosho has ran as expected with a new touring car at the DHI Cup 2008. Kyosho are developing a new touring car for the next Worlds that are held in Thailand. Steen Graversen has ran several prototypes at the International Speed Weekend, EFRA GP and the Swedish Friendship Race. Shinosuke Adachi has also done some research and development at the Asian racing scene. There are already some changes in the car, which have helped both drivers to improve the car. Steen Graversen finishing in 3rd and Shinosuke Adachi 12th at last weekends DHI Cup 2008 in Denmark. ''When you're in the top 5, you can't complain about the car'' said Steen Graversen about his car.
The biggest change of this latest edition of the prototype are the rear bulkheads and motormount that are placed more to the back. In the front of the car are also some changes made. The wishbones have other mounting positions and the chassis has been narrowed. The battery position has also been moved a bit.
It will be all clear at the Worlds if Kyosho will run this modified car, or just a totally new prototype. Stay tuned at RcTouring.EU!
