Ricardo Monteiro departs Team Losi Racing

2010 1/8th Buggy European Champion B and multiple National Portuguese Champion, Ricardo Monteiro has announced his departure from long-term sponsor TLR. Ricardo leaves behind a successful campaign but he is leaving open for now what the future will be holding for him in terms of chassis sponsors. This is what Ricardo has to say:

All good things come to an end. After 7/8 years of awesome racing and many many good moments, it is time for me and TLR to part ways. First of all I would like to thank the people at Modelcar, in the form of Luis and André for believing me at the very start of my career and helping me get through to this stage, I wish you all the best luck on your future endeavours. Then a very BIG thank you to all the guys at TLR that ever helped me (Todd, Jerome Sartel and Ryan, Jerome Chambon and Adam Drake while they were there). It was many many years of ups and downs that make a good part of my r/c racing career that I will forever hold deer to me. I’m still not sure what’s ahead of me, but I am certain it will be an awesome new ride.
