Shin Adachi to attend this weeks Euros

Shin Adachi to attend this weeks Euros

Kyosho have confirmed to us that their top Japanese Factory racer, and the man behind the TF-5 Stallion Shin edition, Shinosuke Adachi will be present at this weeks European Electric Touring car Championships being held in Montbrison, France to provide support to all Kyosho racers at the event. This marks the first time that Kyosho will sponsor and provide support at an electric event in Europe since the Japanese brand re entered the EP market with the Lazer ZX5 buggy back in 2005. Kyosho have seen a huge push towards electric classes lately with the introduction of their TF-5 chassis back in 2006 and the release of the Ultima RB5 2wd buggy earlier this year as well as changes within the company that have seen the hiring of Gil Losi Jr in March and the acquisition of Team Orion in May. The smiling man you see in the picture above is just the first step in a larger move towards World domination by Kyosho as already witnessed in the 1/8th scale buggy class since the late 90’s and the gas on road class in the last 6 years.
