Hoping Durango have a new top UK driver for 2013

(It's not for me to say who but he was running a DEX410 at a meeting very recently)

XRay the unknown at present for 4WD and then the new Kyosho RB6 for 2WD.

Add to this some quick drivers gaining F2 grades and then I assume doing nationals next year if no clashes with their other classes.

Don't tell anyone but I will be driving the prototype Losi 4wd (The only one in existence) and it will be the best car ever. Combine this with my amazing talent I will be crowned European champion of the world.

Ellis just recently extended his x factory drive, so he ain't moving. Schumacher will have no moves I'm 99% sure. As for durango, I see potential drivers coming from centro/cml. Lee martin and vega... with the new 4wd, he looks set to stay there. I think xray might get an 1/8 racer for the xb4. For kyosho, elliot boots maybe?

If ellis did go durango, I think it would be the simon moss/ansmann story again.
