The Schumacher Mi8 - design and engineering excellence.

2021 BRCA National Stock Champion.

The Mi8 has been developed by Schumacher’s world class engineering team to be faster, and better handling than ever.

With a lower centre of gravity, lighter weight, and fine attention to detail, the Mi8 is a pleasure to build, maintain and to drive.

The Mi8 contains all the features and adjustments you need from a high end touring car to take you to the top of the podium.

Available with an alloy chassis optimised for carpet racing, or a carbon fibre chassis perfectly suited to asphalt.

Features

  • New - Motor position with central layshaft position, offering improved weight distribution, drivetrain efficiency and flexibility. Provides an easier and more consistent handling car with improved steering. 
  • New - Twin upper suspension link design with improved flexibility characteristics and tuning of castor. Mi7 Single upper wishbone option included for simplified build. 
  • New - Front body height limit control included in the kit with a lightweight and simple layout.
  • New - Carbon fibre wishbones with pivot ball mounting inside and out.  Improved flexibility, geometry, droop stability and chassis overhang at the rear.  Ease and speed of build greatly improved.
  • New - Top deck design.  Highly developed flexibility with multiple integration options to the motor mount providing fast but smooth handling out of the box.
  • New - Motor mount.  Provides increased fore/aft stiffness of the chassis, while maintaining the desired torsional stiffness for stable handling.New - Vastly shortened shock absorber design and new mounting layout allowing for super low centre of gravity.
  • New - Ultra lightweight and low centre of gravity one piece servo mount. Increases steering trim reliability.New - Horizontal rear body mounting option included.New - Easier access front spool and rear differential.
  • New - Transmission housing design with many improvements such as lowering centre of gravity, durability, ease of assembly and narrower mounting pitch for improvements to geometry and flexibility.
  • New - Anti Roll Bar design to further lower centre of gravity.New - Ultra fine adjustment eccentrics for optimum belt tension.
  • New - Lower bumper mount moulding preventing touching down on track.New - Black Alloy turnbuckles for weight reduction and improved lower centre of gravity.New - Ackerman steering arms for refined steering feel.
  • New - Optional Mass damping compatibility within each wishbone (x4).
