It is with great disappointment and sadness that Horizon / TLR announce the departure of pro-racer Darren Bloomfield after a long 16 year association with the brand that dates back to the early 1990s when he was a young child. His on-track speed and prowess has always been a characteristic trademark for all to see but we wish to acknowledge and thank Darren for his unerring commitment to us as his sponsors throughout the years. Darren has been a great asset to the team and an ambassador for TLR / Horizon and we wish him all the very best for the future, both personally and professionally.

a shock was running the 22 yesterday at maritime

Hmmm splashet, now bloomers:confused:. funny as he spent a few years running some quite old cars, now they have the 22 2.0 and the new 4wd comming, possibly the best cars they have had for a long time, and he's off, strange

Big loss for losi bloomers is one of the best drivers in the world

Very suprised the big question is where or who is he off to?:confused:

Bloomers
 

Great Guy :thumbsup:
Great driver :drool:
Great Loss For Losi :(

Wish him all the very best wherever he hangs his transmitter :woot:

X-ray ,hot bodies,associated,Kyosho ????would prob need 1/8th and 1/10th

Or he might do the same as lee martin

8th with 1 team and 10th with another?

That's my first thought.

Strange thing though is the fact that bloomers was actually employed by losi horizon so it's not just like he is changing sponsor but more his actual employer as well

Xray or Kyosho, 2 proven brands with support in the UK?

Now Tamiya and Mugen would be great.Especially for Lee Martin, what a team that would be.

Hara poss be driving for kyosho so unless the grabbing every one lol

Big loss for losi/horizon
Surprised by this.....
Good luck in the future

Blooms to HB to replace Hara then?

I think who can afford to a) have lots of the world's best on the squad

Bloomers
 

Darren will be a big loss to the team.
He has been a massive help to many of us in the team and also all the club racers who race with Losi products.
I for one would like to thank him for all the great work he's done to promote the brand, and wish him well in the upcoming season.

Possibly Durango then?

Not if he takes advice from Boots :eh?:

put my biggest money on kyosho, great 8th and 10th package and I think kyosho could just do with him in 10th at the min as altho boots pops in now and again 8th is were his main intests are.....things could be a bit cosy in the 8th pits tho:lol:.

HB could be a wild card good 8th, good 4wd 10th on the way that drives like an 8th car apparently but the 2wd needs some work

Be surprised if he goes to Kyosho as they probably havnt got the deal/money he would be after.
Hot Bodies is probably the best shout so far.
