Mugen Seiki 1:10 Touring Car Program – Statement

Following speculation on the future of Mugen Seiki’s 1:10 Electric Touring Car Program following the mid season departure of star driver Ronald Volker last week to RC Maker and designer Robert Piesch at the end of the 2025 season, the Japanese manufacturer has issued a statement to clarify it has no intentions of  ‘discontinuing or downsizing’ the project.  On the Mugen Seiki Europe Facebook page they posted, ‘Following the recent announcement regarding Ronald Völker’s departure, we have received a number of questions and speculations concerning the future of Mugen Seiki’s 1/10 touring car program.  We would therefore like to make our position clear: Mugen Seiki has absolutely no intention of discontinuing or downsizing its 1/10 touring car program.  Team changes among professional drivers are a common occurrence in this sport and are not unusual.  The MTC3 platform continues to be developed by the team, and our commitment to the project remains unchanged.  While we wish Ronald every success in the next chapter of his career, we will remain fully committed to the continued development and success of the MTC3 platform.  We sincerely appreciate the continued support and trust of our customers, partners, and racing community.
