Yardy leaves Mirage / HotBodies

[jimmy]

Top 1/10th electric buggy racer Tom Yardy contacted us to publicly express his appreciation for the support given by Mirage over the past years which has now come to an end.

Tom Yardy:
I have recently made the difficult decision to leave Mirage/HB/Nosram. One of the main reasons why this decision was so difficult is because I have raced for Mirage for over 5 years as originally a B team racer for Orion products before becoming a member of the full A team in 2005. Mirage have played an integral role in my RC development, taking me on at a much earlier stage of my racing life and I wish to thank them for their fantastic support and faith over our time together.

The main reason for asking oople to release a statement for me in this manor is that I do not wish people to see that I have left within a short period of Mirage losing another member of their A team and questioning whether something particularly negative is occurring at Mirage/HB/Nosram- THIS IS NOT THE CASE and the two events are not linked in any way.
I have taken the decision to move on mainly due to my desire for a change and a need to freshen up my racing. I have raced with Nosram products for many years now and have recently used the Hot Bodies D4 worlds 4wd car with pretty decent success making the European A final this year and prior to this season have made additional euro and national A’s using Mirage supplied equipment.
Thank-you to all the guys at Mirage and of course, all their brands which have supported me so well, in particular HPI and Nosram. I wish them every success in the future.
