Press Release From ZooRacing:

Jackal is ZooRacing’s latest high-performance body, engineered specifically for modified and stock racing, where precision, downforce, and sharp handling are needed. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of competitive modified racing, the Jackal body offers a combination of cutting-edge aerodynamics and advanced material technology that enhances track performance like never before. Utilizing our latest insights, the Jackal delivers significant improvements in downforce, stability, and overall handling, setting a new benchmark in the industry. With increased aerodynamic efficiency for enhanced cornering stability and sharp rotation, it provides a dynamic and stable driving experience in modified and also stock racing.

Several design innovations have been incorporated into the Jackal to ensure it excels in all different racing environments. To enhance high-speed steering precision, both the front and hood have been redesigned. The front has less edges and a much more efficient design for a perfect laminar airflow. The side contours have been strategically shaped to direct airflow over the rear wheel arches, optimizing the aerodynamic pressure differential and increasing downforce. The rear end is designed with an extra large spoiler to minimize turbulences and increase downforce.

A key feature of the Jackal body is its narrow-shaped waist design. This distinctive shape reduces the frontal surface area, allowing for faster acceleration and better agility in tight corners. By narrowing the waist, we’ve achieved more efficient airflow dynamics and reduced drag, resulting in improved overall aerodynamic efficiency. This design not only enhances handling but also provides a more responsive and agile racing experience, ideal for the high-speed, tight-turning nature of modified racing circuits.

The Jackal has also been meticulously optimized for high-speed handling stability. The reduced frontal area and optimized aerodynamics help the body maintain a stable, planted feel even at top speeds, ensuring the car remains predictable and responsive under heavy acceleration and in high-speed cornering. This stability is critical for modified racing, where high-speed handling is essential for navigating fast straights and tight corners with precision. The aerodynamic improvements, including the optimized and wider rear wing and enhanced downforce, work together to maintain balance at high speeds, providing the driver with greater control, especially in critical race situations.

Aerodynamic efficiency is maximized through an elongated roofline that reduces drag and improves stability at high speeds. The side windows feature a new integrated arch design, balancing the airflow pressure ratio across the body. The new wing is designed for high efficiency and further refined to perfectly complement the body’s rear, enhancing downforce and stability during high-speed maneuvers. An integrated reinforcement rib strengthens the wing, providing additional structural rigidity and ensuring consistent performance on fast tracks typical in modified racing. ZooRacing put the first time aerodynamic turbulators into the wing structure and rear structure of the body to reduce drag. The Jackal offers also the first time a much more structured front and rear design to make it statically stronger against distorsion on high speeds – especially by using the thin 0.4mm version.

The ZOOlite molding process used in the Jackal reduces the weight of the standard 0.7mm body shell by approximately 10g. while simultaneously lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity. For those seeking maximum performance, the Jackal is also available in the lightweight ULTRALIGHT 0.5mm version, further enhancing agility and acceleration on the track without sacrificing strength. For super high grip tracks and hardcore mofified racing, we also offer this body as 0.4mm AIRLIGHTversion.

Each Jackal body package includes high-quality wing mounting hardware and a detailed sticker sheet with grille, headlight, and taillight designs, ensuring your vehicle is both performance-oriented and visually striking on the track. New are the decals with window frames and tinted windows, what makes quick painting much easier to get a good looking result.
