Haha, I thought our interview with him was better at the neo- where we purposely didn't mention anything about his bro at all. Comedy! he's a nice lad anyway, if he blags some sponsorship for any reason it's a good deal!

saintnitro 09-02-2010 02:12 PM

it did seam that they were useing his brothers name alot i dont want to say they were jumping on the band wagon but i,i,ah bugger it yeah they are:p

I think it's great and it raises the profile of the hobby.

Lewis Hamilton's brother.

I don't think what you do or don't earn should come into sponsorship. As I said above I think it's great.

Nic was supported by Kyosho this year and has just changed his ride and engine, so being sponsored is not new for Nic

Nic is a top lad who is very down to earth if you where to met him at a 1/8th track, I would suspect it is not the financial support of being sponsored that is the benefit for Nic but more importantly being part of a team, He goes racing mostly on his own as we all know his Dad and brother are away playing with big cars :thumbsup: but also due to his disability things like marshling are not possible for him

Remind me what he has again, is it MS?

Good luck to the chap at the track and I hope he has a good year's racing! Would be cool if he rocked up at a track with his brother and they both raced.

Nick is an awesome guy :thumbsup:

mikeyscott 09-02-2010 04:01 PM

Anyone met him or his brother?

footey 09-02-2010 04:02 PM

did u not read the neo report jimmy did they interviewed him so guess alot of people have and its well worth alook at

jimmy 09-02-2010 04:10 PM

If Lewis hamilton was my brother I'd be a complete wanker about it and never shut up. Nic aint tho! :thumbsup:

Nic and Lewis were both racing at one of the Slough summer series meetings, it was ace :thumbsup:

Nic came along to one of our TC club nights last year. Seemed like a good guy and knows what hes doing on the track! :)

I hope it isnt LRP taking advantage of the name, but if he asked for the sponsership then good on him :)

DCM 09-02-2010 04:33 PM

the whole idea of sponsorship, is to get product coverage in the media, whether it is sponsoring the top guys, or sponsoring a name..... does it really matter??

Chris Doughty 09-02-2010 04:43 PM

its clearly worked.... :woot:

Lewis has raced with Nic at Ware on occasions and it is very strange seeing their Dad in Pit lane watching an RC car when you are used to seeing him on the TV :D

At least i can say i beat lewis all be it with an RC car rather than a real one..... :thumbsup:
