Batlle confirms departure from Mugen

Former World Champion Robert Batlle has announced his much anticipated departure from Mugen, a combination that triumphed at the 2012 IFMAR 1:8 Buggy World Championships in Argentina.  The Spaniard’s announcement ends a lengthy and fruitful 12-year stint with the Japanese manufacturer.  Batlle made the announcement on his Facebook page in an open message to Mugen.

Letter to Mugen:

It has been 12 lovely years, the best ones in my career so far. We have achieved many goals, we have had a lot of fun and you have helped me to be what I am. I have so many memories from us, that it has been difficult for me to resume them all in one post.

I can only thank you for all the help I got, you will always have a place in my heart.

It’s time to take different roads, I wish you the best in your future, it has been a pleasure to be part of the #mugenfamily.

Last but not least, I would like to thank Stefan Habbecke and John Yves Ferte for giving me the opportunity back in 2011!

See you around the tracks ❤️
