Novarossi unhappy with Joseph Quagraine Categories - Drivers, Gas, Novarossi, Off Road, Racing , trackback
We like a bit of scandal here at Red RC and today we have some from Novarossi, following on from yesterdays announcement that their team driver Joseph Quagraine had left the Italian Manufacturer to go drive for O.S. Engines. In what appears to be a recurring trend by Italian engine manufacturers, Novarossi have decided to go public with the whole mess by making a statement on their website regarding the subject.
Dear Mr. Joseph Quagraine,…..NOVAROSSI WORLD srl informs you that we take legal actions, regarding your contract breach. As stated in your contract you have to use the products provided by NOVAROSSI WORLD srl until the end of this year (31/12/2007). We are valueting the damage that you have caused after your public statement to move, without any right, to a different engine company. We will notify you the specific and total amount of the damage soon. NOVAROSSI WORLD inform all the other engine companys, that we will value to take legal actions against your contract breach…….
As we dont know all the details behind this story it wouldnt be correct for us to make any presumptions as to the reasons for the split, but either way i cant understand what the motive behind publicly threatening legal action is, as these things very rarely (in Europe at least) go any further than letting out a bit of hot air.

This is not their first public statement like that. I saw them saying few years ago they will sue anyone that mod their motors, HA!
