Josh Cyrul joins Capricorn

Capricorn have officially announced the signing of veteran U.S. on-road racer, Josh Cyrul to their US team. The multi-time US National Champion will use the Capricorn’s electric touring and pan car kits while also making a possible return to nitro racing, using the Italian-brand’s popular 1/8th and 1/10th IC platforms. Josh says:

Since the first time I saw a Capricorn car, I knew the quality, dedication and most importantly the passion for racing. I was super impressed and honestly jealous of the drivers I had to race against who were using Capricorn. For myself wanting a quality electric platform to work with and develop, plus the potential to return to nitro racing where I’ve had some of my greatest accomplishments in RC, this is absolutely a dream come true! Massive, massive thanks to Dwight Smith, Paolo Morganti and especially Patrizio Rossi for this opportunity!

Alexander Hagberg joins BR1 team

During this weekend’s Euro Touring Series fourth round in Andernach, Germany, Bruno RC, the brand of multi-class talent and round 4 winner, Bruno Coelho, has announced the signing of former IFMAR World Champion, Alexander Hagberg to the BR1 team. Alexander will be using Bruno RC’s BR1 brand servos in his Xray rides from now on and he had the following to say:

It was a natural move for me to join the BR1 brand. I know that Bruno’s objective with the brand is very professional, and it will also further improve our team work, as we will work from the exact same platform. My initial impression after testing the servo was very positive. The steering feel is very natural, with good response, as a result of the low CG integrated mount, which also saves a lot of weight – something that is very important mainly due to the new weight limit rules of the ETS. The BR1 servo is definitely the best servo for our T4 platform, as it’s designed with this car in mind. I am looking forward to using this and other BR1 products in the future!
