I think the question is more who is or was driving for an importers team and who drives direct to the manufacturer In the uk we actually have very few full works drivers direct from the likes of AE,TLR,Kyosho with far more drivers supported by the uk distributor, I suspect distributors are favouring the B team style drive were you still pay for your parts, but less than RRP as this actually creates a captive market, think this is schumachers plan as every other driver seems to be schumacher at the min
I suppose this could be because a lot of worldwide firms now look at the whole of europe as one including the uk. And kyosho has never had a massive team in the uk, just a good following who like a quality car…….and they have roger who sleeps in kyosho pyjamas
