Hupo Honigl joins Durango’s 1/8th scale team

Having signed multiple European Champion Hupo Honigl to their electric buggy team back in January, Durango have today announced that the Austrian driver will also now race for their 1/8th scale team through to the end of 2011, following the end of his contract at LRP to run their 1/8th scale buggy. We contacted Hupo for comment and he gave us this statement:

First of all I want to thank my former car sponsors LRP – specially Moritz Gaul – and Tamiya – Kiyo and Satoshi – for their awesome support over the last few years, it was a great time. But every contract has an end and it was time for me to make a change and now I´m looking forward to race my new cars and help develop and test for Team Durango – there are some nice projects in the pipeline. I will continue running all the LRP nitro as well as the electric power components, I will of course also stay with Proline Rubber for all cars and the radio gear is from Sanwa. I´m really looking forward to a successful racing year in 2010!
