Fichajes 2014 ?????
2wd Offroad World Champion Jared Tebo has left fuel sponsor Sidewinder, confirming in am e-mail statement that he has ‘After just a short 11 months working together, and getting some good results in 2013, they have decided to part ways. The relationship ended on good terms and is effective as of December 1.’ Jared has stated that he is now a free agent so whether that means he will run without a sponsor for fuel or he will announce a new partnership in the near future remains to be seen.
Multiple British National champion in touring car and 1/12th scale Olly Jefferies has confirmed in a Facebook post that this weekend he will run his last race with Team Associated. We understand that although he received offers to run a number of manufacturers that he has chosen to go with Xray. We expect some confirmation in the coming weeks.
With the American driver recently winning his second World title, his first for current sponsors Kyosho, one would think that all is well with the Tebo / Kyosho partnership but with his current contract up for renewal Jared left an open ended statement on his personal blogstating ‘Is there another 5 year contract in the works? Are some of my other sponsors going to change to 2014?’. A great soundbite to mull over but we think the American will stay put and sign his name to a further extension with Kyosho. In this current climate where very few drivers are receiving good deals and Tebo thought to be one of the highest paid racers in RC a move would mean another company would have to meet his salary expectations as well as having an opening in their team which severely limits his possible options.
Finishing 2nd at the Worlds as well as excelling for Mugen in 1/8th Offroad taking this year’s British title, we hear that a change is on the horizon for Lee Martin. Having raced in electric for Tamiya for 4 years we believe the British driver is on the move, a short statement ‘End of an era??’ on his FB page confirming something is up. A combination of the TRF team squeezing budget and looking for a new challenge we have heard rumours that Lee will be moving to another Japanese company for electric, Yokomo. The ambitious company is eager to get a big name on their team for Europe and a World class driver who can join Naoto Matsukura on the international scene and Lee fits the bill. It will also help them push their cars into the competitive British racing market.
The 2012 European 1/8th Offroad Champion confirmed his departure from TLR recently after driving for the US marque for well over a decade. News and rumours surrounding where the British driver is going is very hard to come by but from a handful of options open to him we have reason to believe he may be headed to Agama, racing for the European distributor Nemo Racing.
Having made a ‘shock’ announcement that he was leaving HB earlier this year after 13 years at the company, the Japanese ace has spent the time since running a variety of touring cars and 1/8th offroad buggies both privately and in one off race deals such as with Schumacherand JQ. The World famous all rounder is in no hurry to make a decision about his future despite receiving offers from most of the major manufacturers to run their equipment. The options on the table now we believe, as mentioned before, are that Hara will start his own brand and produce his own car or sign for one of the majors with Xray being the most obvious choice having a full range of cars for all categories which Atsushi races and seemingly the budget to pay his salary. He could alternatively sign class specific deals with different manufacturers for the different classes he runs or continue with race by race deals until he finds the right direction to choose.
Multiple European Champion and winner of the first round of the EOS in Poland Hupo Honigl has already confirmed that he has left Durango and is seeking a new drive for 2013 after 5 years with the team. We understand that he has multiple options but what is sounding like a front runner is a drive for the rapidly growing Team C brand who have some good drivers in Europe already including German National Champion Oliver Scholz. Hupo is a very experienced racer and could not just help the team get race results but also be used to help develop their complete range of offroad cars.
Having missed the Worlds in Japan earlier this year we have heard that the 9-time World Champion Lamberto Collari is on the move. We believe that his deal with Capricorn has come to an end and he will join another team from 2014, perhaps Mugen but we also heard a wild rumour of him teaming back up with BMT. In a related move Lamberto was seen running a Mugen MBX-7 for a rare off road test session at IBR Padova earlier this week.
We have heard that multiple European Champion and World Championship runner up Dario Balestri may have left KM Racing for whom he raced 1/10th scale and helped with the development of the World Championship winning H-K1 and will now race solely for Capricorn in the car department, having run with them in 1/8th for the past seasons. He will continue with long time engine sponsor Novarossi.
Having run Novarossi previously, Mugen onroad designer and 2011 World Champion Robert Pietsch is rumoured to have signed a deal with Maxima to run not just their fuel but also their OS based engines in what is seen as a bit of a coup for the Thai company.
Former Italian 1/8th onroad Vice Champion Andrea Pirani is said to have moved from his Shepherd Novarossi combo to use the new Italian made WRC car together with OS engines.
Another racer to make the switch from Novarossi to the OS based Maxima engine is multiple German National Champion and ENS winner Eric Dankel. Eric will also run the Thai company’s fuel.
Italian National Champion Carmine Raiola, one of the few Italians to attend this year’s World Championship earning himself a very solid 5th place, has confirmed his move from Max Power to Novarossi.
Former Worlds finalist and Swiss National Champion Simon Kurzbuch is another driver to make the move from Max Power to Italian power house Novarossi.

Normativa 1/8 pista 2014
No hay nada publicado de manera oficial que sepamos, pero los rumores apuntan a mangas de clasificación de 4 minutos, 16% de nitro y ruedas libres sin aditivo.
.- ¿Mangas a 4 minutos? A nuestro criterio, seguro que erróneo, es un paso atrás. Al 80% por no decir al 90% de la parrilla no tienen problemas en acabar los 5 minutos sin repostar y sin cerrar en exceso el motor. Ademas nos vamos al 16% de nitro, que consume menos. Mangas a 5 minutos igualaría un poco mas a los tops con los terrenales, ya que los primeros si tendrían que entrar a repostar. Ademas…los motores que menos consumen suelen ser los que menos vueltas alcazan y por inri los que menos cuestan. No nos vale la explicación de que con mangas a 4 minutos los pilotos podrán tener los motores mas abiertos y romperlos menos…el motor siempre se intenta carburar lo mejor posible, si consume de mas se cambia desarrollo, escape, etc…o simplemente se entra a repostar.
.- ¿Combustible al 16%? Seguimos las directrices de EFRA…ni bueno ni malo. En algunas cosas es mejor el 25% y en otras no, pero no afectara en demasía.
.- No al control tyre. Paso atrás…y de los grandes. Volvemos a las sospechas entre pilotos cuando se ha visto y comprobado en los euros que la formula de rueda única es la mejor. Se ha demostrado mucha mas igualdad entre pilotos, que al final es de lo que se trata…que se vean las manos de cada piloto y no si el material es de mejor o peor calidad. De no ser viable la monomarca, se debería avanzar en el uso del parque cerrado, pero volver a la mano del experto y la nariz que no huele…no “mola”. En esto las directrices de EFRA no importan….
En definitiva, mangas a 4 minutos y no al “parque cerrado de ruedas” nos parecen medidas que no favorecen a que la escala crezca. Ojala estemos equivocados…

Maxi Vogl wins German Open Indoor Masters
"Shepherd youngster Maxi Vogl won the German Open Indoor Masters 1/8th scale class the third time in a row while team boss Patrick Schäfer placed 2nd in the 1/10th scale class. The race took place at "Faszination Modellbau" fair in Friedrichshafen in the very South of Germany close to Austria and Switzerland attracting nearly 80 drivers in both classes.
Qualifying in the 1/8th scale class was very close as Maxi was ranked second missing the TQ by only 0,1 sec with a gap of 0,2 sec to the third placed driver. Also Patrick Schäfer qualified 2nd in front of his new team mate Bernd Rausch at his first race for Shepherd. Austrian Shepherd racer Gerhard Kandelhart piloted his V10 to the 4th position only 0,1 sec behind Bernd.
The 1/8th scale final was an easy affair for Maxi. At the beginning he was chased by his young Shepherd team mate Max Günther, who had a really fast pace. Some minutes into the race Max made a small but costly mistake as his Velox got airborne and crashed heavily into the boards. Maxi Vogl continued to control the race for the remaining time and claimed the third victory in a row crossing the finishing line 5 laps in front of Oliver Lembeck with Armin Baier completing the podium.
In the 1/10th scale final the audience saw an intensive battle for the second position between Patrick Schäfer and Bernd Rausch while experienced indoor racer and pole-setter Dominic Greiner pulled away quickly. Unfortunately for Bernd he ran out of fuel just before the third fuel stop. This gave Patrick some room and he conserved his second place. After 30 min Dominic Greiner crossed the finishing line in front of Patrick Schäfer with Swiss racer Traugott Schär claiming the final podium spot."
