G-Force Racing GP-1 1:28 Chassis

With 1:28 racing enjoying the spotlight in 2025 with new car releases and Team Associated entering the category, Thailand’s G-Force Racing has just released it’s all-new 98mm high-performance 1:28 race chassis, the GP-1.  Under the design of Kittipat Benchasiri, their latest project is the result of extensive development, testing, and refinement of their previous platform with the new GP-1 featuring a shocktowerless design for a dramatically lower CG.  It also has sidelinkless suspension for smoother, freer movement and ground-effect compatibility for increased downforce and grip.  Double front suspension arms offer sharper and more consistent steering with short front arms improving cornering precision.  A new 35° front shock angle gives better front-end stability with a direct-drive servo system for instant, precise steering.  The car’s Tri-Shock + side damper setup generates smoother transitions and balance with the car having already proven itself with Superstock victory at the Asian Open in Indonesia earlier this year in the hands of Singapore’s Gabriel Wong.
