2024 FEMCA ISTC Championship Chassis Focus Index

The 2024 FEMCA ISTC Championship was completed last weekend (December 7-8th) at the GDC Indoor track in Foshan, China were Bruno Coelho took the win.  While it was the World Champion who dominated proceedings to add a first FEMCA title to his CV, the very fact he and former World Champion Naoto Matsukura were there racing against Asia’s top drivers was a huge boost for those racers who don’t normally get such an opportunity.  While Coelho impressed his rivals on track, even Marc Rheinard, Atsushi Hara and Jilles Groskamp dropping by and watching him set the pace, the hosts impressed Coelho and the rest of the international visitors with a very impressive opening ceremony.  Red RC’s first time to attend the FEMCA ISTC Championship, having previously attended the FEMCA 1:8 Offroad Championship, it was an opportunity to photograph the cars of some of the regions leading drivers for our Chassis Focus.  With the championship attracting close to 100 entries, we featured 10 cars including the Xray of Chinese National Champion Jerry Dai. We got to put cars from 6 different manufacturers in front of our camera to share the details with touring car fans around the world and now have complied them all into one handy index.
