Chassis – Capricorn Lab C03
Engine – Tesla T12
Fuel – Maxima
Tires (handout) – Shepherd Tyres
Radio/Servo – Sanwa/AME
Body – Protoform SRS

Remarks – Making his return to the series missing Round 2 in Aigen due to taking up a new job at Audi Sport, reigning champion Eric Dankel is running a pretty standard version of the latest Lab C03 from Capricorn. Apart from some lightweight screws, the only change on the car would be the addition of 30 grams on the front bumper to reduce traction rolling.
