Now do you have what it takes to take the wheel?

The BD8 encompasses the same super low COG as BD7 did, but in my point of view i fell it’s a little more lower that BD7, which improve and proved to be extremely competitive not only on high grip surfaces and low grip surfaces.  Here are some of the Highlights; 

■ New Centre Aligned Front Belt System, the front belt now runs up the middle of the car which improves the car’s balance as well as smoothness during on-power acceleration.

■ Large 22T Centre Pulley, the center pulley has been changed to allow the front and rear belt to run off the same pulley, providing a longer wear for front and rear belts whilst also offering improved acceleration.

■ Bush / Insert Suspension Blocks, Yokomo have now moved to the bush / insert style suspension blocks, which allows customers easier to adjustments, the new blocks are also lower which further improves the car center of gravity.

■ New Motor Mount / Flex System, The new car carries a smaller motor mount design, which has moved the motor forward inboard (Centre) to increase the cars overall balance, the new motor mount also has new screw placements underneath the chassis which will improve the cars overall grip and corner speed once again.
