Xray announce that multiple European Champion Reno Savoya has extended the contract with the Slovakian team for 2013. Reno has been very valuable member of R&D team and works closely with Juraj Hudy on the further development of the XB9. This is what Reno has to say:

I started to work with the Xray team back in September ’11. I can’t be more happy and proud of all the hard work we’ve put together in order to develop and increase the performances of the Xray line. For a long time I was looking for a serious R&D implication and improvement of the products I was working on. It’s unbelievable the capability, both human and technologic, this company enjoy everyday in order to produce the best quality and performance products. At every level, professional driver or basher, we can feel the spirit of racing is in the DNA of the house! I had a wonderful year, with many big achievements, and I’m really looking forward to 2013 to carry on our trustful relationship and push my results up to another level! Like usual, never hesitate to walk around my pit area for a chat, it’s always a pleasure to share set-ups, knowledge and experiences! I would like to take the most of this words to thank everyone at Xray factory and team for their support!
