BRX to unleash Prodrive Hunter T1+ at Dakar 2022 | THE DAILY TRIBUNE | KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN

Bahrain Raid Xtreme (BRX) has redesigned the Prodrive Hunter to meet the new T1+ regulations recently announced by the FIA, which is now the top class alongside T1-E. The new regulations were introduced to help balance the performance of the four and two-wheel-drive cars in the T1 class. The Hunter will run on larger tyres, with increased suspension travel and a wider track.

These changes have necessitated some significant changes to 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-inch wheels.
