I would love to confirm anything - but as I said - I couldn't get anything out of that team driver apart from fact that it really exist and it looks beautiful

Frankly, what gets under my skin is these product announcements proto rumors that take 6 months to a year to come to fruition, and for all intents and purposes no more closer to reality for us than finding out in highschool that the hot chick in class was easy. |
I totally agree with you. As for Xray - they never released any rumour about buggy. Actually I talked to Martin Hudy about 1:10 buggies 3 years ago and Xray and he said at time that they would like to release few interesting projects, it's just that they have currently many cars to keep up to date so it's difficult to release another cars. Considering that they current cars aren't winning top competitions, they still have to do loads of work to improve current platforms, thus lack of time for other projects.
