Hot Bodies Press Release:
The HB TCXX is the latest evolution in touring car technology from the World Championship-winning HB racing team. Champions never tire and never slow down, and the TCXX has been in development since the release of the last HB touring car. Now, with the will and spirit of World Champions behind it, we present to you the HB TCXX.
At the world debut of the TCXX, Team HB (featuring 2 drivers with 3 World Championships between them) rocked the field with a dominating Top Qualifier position for Atsushi Hara, who then went on to drive brilliantly in the 3 A Final races. Hara missed out on snatching his third World Championship by thousands of a second, but proved that the TCXX has everthing that’s needed to be a winner straight out of the box!
