Tebo and Mayako part ways

Having announced earlier this year that 2023 would be his final year as a professional driver, Jared Tebo and Mayako have announced they are to part ways after just one year.  On signing with Mayako, the America racer was announced in a dual role as both an international team driver and Mayako USA Community Manager.  Through his JTP RC business Tebo was also selling Mayako products.  In a post on social media, Mayako said, ‘Mayako and Jared Tebo will part ways at the end of 2023.  Mayako would like to thank Jared for the past year and wish him the best in the next stages of his career!  His insight and interaction with the Community have really shown the knowledge built up over his excellent career!  Good luck in the future Jared!’  On his own personal Facebook page Tebo wrote, ‘Holy smokes has 2023 been a year.  I need to announce that my time working together with Mayako has come to an end.  Definitely not the way I thought it would turn out, but we gave it a good try, and I’m proud of that.  This year has been one of my toughest and most challenging years mentally, for a lot of different reasons.  I’ll say it was a big transition year, with different surprises.  I decided to retire from professional RC car racing, something I’ve done since I was 14 years old.  That’s been my “identity” for over half my life.  With that, I’ve had so many mixed emotions, good and bad, happy and sad.  2024 will look a lot different … new experiences, new challenges, new adventures await!
