Tamiya Tourers
The spec class. Strictly Tamiya kit chassis (TT-01 or TT-02), fixed torque-tuned motor, control tyre. Nobody has an equipment advantage — races come down to setup and how well you can drive. Brilliant first class for new racers, experience drivers, or anyone who wants pure wheel-to-wheel competition without an arms race. Consistently our biggest grid.
