Backing
up a successful design is perhaps the most difficult task in design and
engineering. Faced with the challenge, the crew at JConcepts once again
went to work to outfit the team during the 2015 IFMAR World
Championships with a body capable of enhancing performance. Dubbed the
S2, the new shell rocks some familiar features but rolled together with a
low-profile stance.
Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a
low center of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of
front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof
directs the flow through the center of the body while also increasing
the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become
famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to
the layout.
The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air
build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the
track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly
aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. The rear of the
body has built-in gear cover ducts on both sides of the body. These
features accommodate 3 or 4 gear lay-down style transmissions, giving
all out versatility.
Performance validation was delivered by Spencer Rivkin during the IFMAR
World Championships in Tsukuba, Japan. The Arizona native won A-mains 2
and 3 to secure his 1st World title driving with the new S2 body.
Rivkin remarked about the S2 body – “I felt so comfortable on the Yatabe
Arena track with the S2 body. It looks so mean on the track and has
exactly the feel I was looking for. The S2 was an advantage for us.”
Roll with the IFMAR World Champion, the S2 by JConcepts.
