THE HUNTER
The BRX Hunter T1+ car is built to the latest FIA regulations. The T1+ class is designed balance the performance between between the 4WD and 2WD cars with the new Hunter T1+, compared to it's predecessor, having 25% more suspension travel and larger wheels to absorb the brutal conditions out in the desert. The car is now 30 centimetres wider creating a stance and look that is purposeful and aggressive at the same time.
These changes have necessitated some significant changes to the Hunter’s drivetrain; suspension and bodywork. The suspension geometry has been reconfigured with longer wishbones and dampers, and there are larger brakes accommodated in the 17” wheels. The larger tyre radius increases the load in the drivetrain so driveshafts, the propshaft and differentials have all been modified. The wider track has also meant nearly half the bodywork has been redesigned with Ian Callum restyling the Hunter to suit the new regulations, while keeping the same distinctive look.
