Last weekend Red RC returned stateside for the 7th edition of the MonTech New York Grand Prix at the 360V2 indoor track in New Rochelle. One of the highlights on the annual US onroad racing calendar and having attended the Donny Lia organised event for the first time in 2024, this year attracted a strong international entry but there was little they could do about top US driver Sam Isaacs. The US Champion would complete the double, winning both Modified 1:12 and Modified Touring Car for Awesomatix. While Isaacs was testing new parts on his 1:12, meaning we couldn’t photograph the car for a Chassis Focus, we did get to feature his winning A800RR Touring Car. The NYGP would see the US debut of Xray’s all new X4’26 and with just two examples of the Slovakian manufacturer’s latest touring car in the country we got to photograph both of them, one being the Stock car of NYGP first timer Jan Ratheisky and the other being the Modified example of US Team Manager Drew Ellis. In 1:12 we got to feature cars from three different manufacturers including 2024 Champion Kemp Anderson’s Awesomatix, the CRC of returning former NYGP Champion Ollie Payne who made the trip over from the United Kingdom, and the latest Excelerate Prodigy 12 from the car’s designer Josh Cyrul. Additionally we got to include the 25.5 LMH winning Express of Charles Bruno and the FWD class Xray of Top Qualifier Andy Brooks to complete our latest Chassis Focus Index.
