Xray announces surprise Rheinard signing

Just hours after he announced his depart from Awesomatix, Xray has revealed that they have acquired the services of Marc Rheinard.  The reigning ISTC World Champions made the surprise announcement via a short video clip on social media with just the text ‘Legends & World Champions join forces’.  With Xray’s loss of Bruno Coelho to Infinity having been reflected in recent Modified results, the new signing of the multiple World Champion by the Slovakian manufacturer is a major coup for the Hudys.  He joins long time team driver Alexander Hagberg, who just recently took the European 1:12 title from the German.  The signing should also allow their 1:8 World Champion David Ronnefalk to focus his attentions on offroad, his transition to touring car with Xray having proved challenging for the Swede.  For Rheinard, whose career spans three decades, joining Xray marks only the fourth Touring Car manufacturer he has represented having raced for Awesomatix, Infinity and Tamiya, his TRF days one of the most iconic partnerships of our sport.
