Rico Kröber & Christian Wurst join Capricorn

Capricorn have announced that Rico Kröber and Christian Wurst have joined the Italian company for the 2015 season. Rico has made the move after being with Xray for four years. Rico will race the company’s C802 1/8th and C03 1/10th 200mm chassis is his upcoming campaign. This is what Rico has to say about the deal:

I am glad to get the chance from Patrizio to Race in 2015 the new C-03 and also the C802. But I also have to say thank you to the Hudy family for the support during the last 5 years. Now I’m looking forward for the new season with my new team and my new cars.

Christian Wurst will compete in the 1/8th class with a C802 following a 2-year campaign with Serpent. Christian, who ended the Nitro West Series sitting in 3rd place this year states:

First of all I would like to thank Serpent for their support over the last 2 years and we have achieved some great results together. However, I felt now was the right time for a change. As I ran their great XRD-engines last season, it was a consequent step for me to join Capricorn. Their continuous development is impressive and I am looking forward to work with Patrizio Rossi and the German Capricorn team. My aim is to contend for the German National title, the European Championships and the Nitro-West-Masters series. I am very excited about running their LAB C802 for the coming season and I would like to thank Patrizio for giving me this opportunity to run his products.
