With our first ever 1:8 GT World Championship now in the books (well published online at least), we have put together a full index of all the chassis we photographed for our ‘Chassis Focus’ during our time in Sydney. Only the second running of an IFMAR World Championship for the category, it was exciting to have such a variety of manufacturers represented at the race with the cars having come along way from their beginnings as modified 1:8 buggy chassis. Hong Nor become the second World Champion manufacturer, Sworkz having taken the inaugural title in 2020. In 2025, GTe looks set to get full World Championship status giving manufacturers the opportunity of achieving Worlds double.
