Christmas Gift Ideas

We'll have some hardcore product reviews coming soon, but in the meantime, Christmas is fast approaching, and it may be useful to make a few Christmas gift suggestions. You'll note that these are all products available from our iRace supporters - we make no apologies about that, it's important to support and recognise the companies that support iRace and our competitors.

So, some gift ideas for you to hint about to your family, or to pick up for your loved ones:

An onboard/helmet camera from Launch Helmet Cams. Don't forget to mention you are an iRace competitor to receive a bonus 16Gb memory card.

A gift certificate from Marulan Driver Training Centre. Brush up on your racing skills in the off season, or give a loved one the skills to be a safer road user.

Perhaps a little ambitious for a Christmas gift, but a hoist from Super Hoist Plus would be the ultimate addition to any racers workshop!!

A pair of new gloves or driving boots would make an excellent gift for any racer. Check out the G Force line, available through John (Kumho) Mills' F-Sport operation.

McHitch: Uniglide Trailer Coupling

The McHitch Uniglide Trailer Coupling has been developed to be an all purpose coupler for all types of trailers including: off road campers, car trailers, caravans, horse trailers, tipping trailers and every type of tow situation out there. At the moment there are two models being manufactured here in Australia, the 3.5 tonne and 6 tonne models with a 10 tonne version under development.

The most important feature of the McHitch couplings is the use of a universal joint to handle all of the horizontal/vertical movements, well past 90 degrees horizontally AND vertically (nothing else on the market comes close) with the twisting being handled in the rear body by shock absorbing urethane bushes. The universal joint itself is the same found in all 4wd Landcruisers (industry part no RUJ-2041 made by Toyo Japan). The joint itself is held in place by registers and opposite threaded plugs/end caps which removes any end play. The universal and the rear body are both fully greaseable.
