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. 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

[DAVO]

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

[hotrodchris]

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

[Zippy G]

Great Guy
Great driver
Great Loss For Losi

Wish him all the very best wherever he hangs his transmitter

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

[leeboy44]

That's my first thought.

[DAVO]

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

[hotrodchris]

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

[xfactor]

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

[DAVO]

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

[AfroP]

Blooms to HB to replace Hara then?

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

[James Pritchard]

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?

[DAVO]

Not if he takes advice from Boots

[racingdwarf]

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.

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

[Chris Larner]

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.
