Sparko F8 and F8e Settings by Noha Ben Mohamed

Sparko F8: Dominate the Track with Noha Ben Mohamed's Latest Setups

Since joining Sparko Racing in early 2025, young French prodigy Noha Ben Mohamed has never stopped pushing the limits of the Formula 8ight (F8). Whether on the dusty tracks of the European Championships or the demanding grip of national circuits, his setup sheets have become a benchmark for all owners of the Singaporean buggy.

Today, we are breaking down the latest adjustments making all the difference in 2026.


🏎️ A Chassis Born to Win

The Sparko F8 has established itself as a formidable machine due to its mechanical simplicity and out-of-the-box efficiency. However, to reach Noha's level of performance, a few "fine-tuning" optimizations are required.

1. Suspension: The Secret to Traction

During recent events (notably his performance at the MBCP), Noha favored a configuration that promotes stability without sacrificing steering response:

  • Shock Oils: A transition toward slightly thinner oils to absorb bumps while maintaining a sharp front end.

  • Pistons: Use of the new optional TRC pistons for more progressive damping on technical jumps.

  • Springs: The choice often falls on Sparko Linear springs, offering a more predictable response on medium-grip tracks.

2. Differentials: Power Management

For his Sparko F8e (electric version), Noha uses fairly "thick" (hard) differential settings. This might not be for everyone, but it is certainly worth trying on your buggy.

3. Tires: The Matrix Choice

An inseparable partner in his success, Matrix tires (particularly the Stardust model) remain Noha's #1 choice. On tracks like Pertuis, he favors "Clay" or "Super Soft" compounds depending on the temperature, mounted on original Matrix rims for optimal rigidity.


📈 Why Use Noha's Setup?

Adopting an official driver's settings doesn't mean you'll instantly match their speed, but it provides you with a solid baseline. Noha’s 2025/2026 setup is designed to make the car "easy" to drive:

  • Less unwanted body roll in corners.

  • Improved jump landings.

  • A rear end that "locks in" better when exiting turns and reduced front-end aggressiveness.

Pro Tip: Remember that every driver has their own style. If the car feels too twitchy, don't hesitate to go down one grade in center differential oil.
