The past weekend saw the top touring car drivers from Europe and Asia gather in Eppelheim, Germany for the annual LRP Touring Car Masters.

From the beginning of the race til the end it was the Tamiya TRF416 chassis and Speed Passion motors that completely dominated the event taking the top three both after qualifying and in the final standings. The race was TQ’d won by Marc Rheinard, ahead of Jilles Groskamp and Viktor Wilck – all three running the TRF416 chassis and Speed Passion Competition version 2.0 motors.

Another extremely impressive performance at the TCM race was that of Team Racing Factory driver Teemu Rytsy. Again running the TRF416 chassis, he qualified in 17th place overall among World and European champions. Well done Teemu!

The TRF416 is quickly proving to be another very successful chassis from the TRF department, having won the JMRCA nationals, DHI Cup, ETS round 2 and now the LRP TCM. The new Speed Passion version 2.0 motor is as well quickly gaining popularity with the new motor seen in many cars at the race.

Get the winning car from Racing Factory!
