Miguel Matias leaves TLR

Multiple European Champion Miguel Matias has announced his departure from TLR, the latest top European racer to leave after Darren Bloomfield quit the team some weeks ago. The Portuguese driver gave no word on where he is going next but with the new year just around the corner we will soon find out. He had this to say:

After a couple of years racing with Horizon/TLR it is now time to embrace new projects! But first I would like to thank all the support given by Horizon/TLR during this time, specially to Adam Drake and David Spashett, some of the best people I worked with in this industry. 2014 will certainly bring me new challenges! See you soon!

Jared Tebo rejoins Maxima Fuel

Following his announcement a few weeks back that he was leaving Sidewinder fuels, Jared Tebo has confirmed that he will be rejoining Maxima for 2014. The Thai fuel company last sponsored the multiple World Champion back in 2011 for two seasons and has since made large gains in the onroad market, producing their own line of engines as well as winning the Euros in the hands of Jilles Groskamp. Jared had this to say about the deal:

For 2014 I am signed with Maxima Fuel again. I am very happy to be back with the Maxima family. We left on good terms at the end of 2012 and now things are sorted out a little better, and we are able to work together again. The fuel runs really good and I can’t wait to get back out and race some 1/8! I would like to thank JarB and the whole Maxima family for this opportunity. See you all at The Dirt!!
