1:10th On-Road Racing
From the beginning, Juraj Hudy's goal was to develop high quality, competitive model cars. Initially, Juraj was involved in the design of the Corally C4 and C4.1 touring cars, and earlier, the Serpent range of nitro touring cars. However, Juraj wanted a chassis to call his own, and set new standards in quality.
The design of the first chassis commenced at the beginning of 1999. The design of the chassis was done using a 3D CAD program with the first testing done in virtual reality which allowed the durability of the parts to be tested. This design was completed by the middle of 1999, and several prototypes were selected to be produced. All of the prototypes were constructed at the Hudy Factory using CNC milling machines. At the end of 1999, the prototypes were completed and testing began on a variety of asphalt and carpet racing tracks. After several months of testing, the final design was chosen and production began.

Famous quotes containing the word racing:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
