Nathan leaves the Pred-team

[Lowie]

It's official now and Jimmy oOple mentioned the news on oOple today.

a great loss!!!!

And maybe it won't be too difficult to replace Nathan as a top-level-driver as there are more very nice drivers in the UK ... and the Pred sertainly is a promising platform ...
... but it will be BL**DY difficult to find a team-manager-guy that is as friendly, helping out WHENEVER HE COULD, on such a nice "always-ready-to-answer-your-questions"-way ... as Nathan was and is. It is Nathan that made my love for that strange car change in an enthousiastic believe in the possibilities off the car.
It's thanks to Nathan's advice and help that I switched from my X10 and occasional racing into an X11 and some serious-racing.
I will also never forgot how he helped me on EIR '09 where I broke 5!! diffs in a row, ... untill he passed me on some new diff-parts, a LOT of diff-advice and a warm friendly hand on my shoulder.
I haven't broken a diff since (knock on wood!).
He certainly helped me to grow a lot in my RC-level.



Nathan, I know I haven't lost you as a mate, ... but we will surely miss you as a Pred-man.
THX mate!!




A loss for the Pred-team and I envy the new team that "wheeled" him in.
