what is the class: touring foam presented by gravity rc tires? there is only a few race in this class. So far, best time is:

Keven Hebert time: 26/5:00.657

It looks faster then touring car mod:

Sam Isaacs time: 25/5:09.256

The class sprang from Drew Ellis and this ProlevelRC Facebook post:

-Tires can be run much taller than the old stuff without traction rolling
-Last longer (after several hundred laps....camber wear on front tires barely noticeable)
-Yes...much faster than rubber tires on carpet....they are foam after all.

Awesome time at the race. Three classes, VTA, WGT-R and F1. Made the A in VTA, B in both F1 and WGT-R.
Largest F1 and WGT-R field I have ever raced in so making the B felt pretty good.

It was an invite class. Thus only 10 people.

No. Nitro foam is wider to the inside not the outside of the wheel.
