Elliot Harper confirmed at World Champion TRF team

Tamiya Racing Factory have officially announced that 16 year old British racer Elliott Harper has joined their team for the 2010 season. The World and European Championship finalist will compete in the UK Nationals, the European Championships in Finland and France and the Worlds in Germany, along with many other races with the new Tamiya TRF416X. Having already competed at some regional races in the UK with his new Tamiya, Elliot will make his international debut this weekend at ETS round 3 in Hrotovice, Czech Republic. Elliott had the following to say about his new deal:

I am really looking forward to the 2010 season and running the Tamiya TRF416X. Racing with Tamiya is an exciting opportunity and I feel very fortunate to be part of this established team.  I am looking forward to working closely with some of the best known racers in the World and working together to gain some great results for Tamiya. This is a fantastic learning and developing opportunity for me.  I have already run the package for some races now and its very, very good!  I am really looking forward to the coming races and especially the ETS race this weekend. It will be great fun. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Xray, Juraj, Mario, Martin and the rest of the team for the last two seasons as they have provided me with lots of support and encouragement.
