NEMO Racing and Agama have announced that former French Champion and World & European finalist Jerome Sartel, has joined NEMO Racing as both an Agama driver and an employee. Agama is assembling a team of fast and experienced drivers globally and adding Jerome is a huge asset. Jon Hazlewood of NEMO Racing had this to say:
Jerome has long been a friend on the R/C racing scene, and one the guys I respect most, both on and off the track. Jerome had indicated to us that he was interested in employment within the R/C industry, and after several conversations we felt he would be an ideal candidate for our company. Jerome will be handling sales and customer relations in the French and Belgian markets for us, and naturally will be a high profile addition to the driver/development line up for Agama Racing. After some extensive testing at his home track, Jerome was very happy with the A8 EVO and this was the deciding factor in him coming on board. We have some other awesome products that are on the way and Jerome will have direct input on the development of these. I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.
