Hi Guys!

It's been a long time since Protoform Race Bodies turned it's attention toward the 1/8th GT class. We'll have a big announcement at the end of the month. The first Protoform GT2 body will become available. It fits all the criteria laid out in the ROAR body rules for this class. We did the GT2 length body first because it's a bit easier to license than the GT1. (a little less wonky looking) The shorter GT1 version will be available within a couple months.

It's realistic and very functional - for sanctioned ROAR competition or any other non-sanctioned type racing. I hope you guys like it!

Dale Epp - Protoform Race Bodies

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROAR GT8 body rules:
E) • Bodies must be factory licensed replicas of the aforementioned street or race cars, but no “race-only” bodies are permitted. Bodies based on Daytona Prototypes, or the odd Super GT cars that are not representative of a commonly available street car, are not permitted.
F) Bodies must include full front and rear fascia’s, and conform to the rules herein that limit openings in the body for the purposes of re-fueling, starting, engine tuning, and antenna holes
G) Bodies must be fully detailed in order to compete in ROAR competition. The body must have visible window, body panel and trim markings, and the windows must be mostly clear. Some intrusion for creative painting purposes and tinting is permitted, but the windows must be transparent. Bodies must have headlight and grill detail.

That's great news! I need a new body , but kyosho gt2 audi body replacement prices are simply ridiculous. Good to hear from Proto coming out with 360mm bodies!! Awsome!

I thought you didn't need a replica body? There is not a replica that is being ran right now sweeps body for instance is a company design body which I think is cool. But I still cant wait to see what you guys have but why the gt2 first no one races the gt2 kyosho?

Cheers Protoform. As said before actual GT2 bodies aren't good for high speeds and ridiculously expensive. Will be buying one as soon you get them in stock.

Hi Nic;

It's definitely a winning body style in the real world. Air is all the same - no matter how big or small the object is that it's flowing around.
