Team Durango have an interesting new post on their
Blog with an announcement of their intention to get multiple European champion Hupo Honigl back driving the Durango cars this year - though nothing is confirmed apparently. A quick look at the Tamiya TRF website confirms no mention of Hupo as a TRF driver any longer. No official word yet and Team Durango wouldn't be drawn on any details - but did mention their intention to get a big name driver.

Durango:
Just to confirm rumours – Yes Team Durango are actively trying to attract Hupo Honigl back to Team Durango.
Team Durango want the 5 time off road European Champion (current 2wd Euro champ) on team due to his wide experience in many classes.
Hupo is also very good at 8th buggy and we believe with the right car he will be a title contender; should he join us, the DNX408 will soon be here for him.
Perhaps Hupos best class is 2wd and this will be important for Durango should we choose to make a 2wd competition buggy.
In fact Hupo has so much high level experience; – 12th, World GT and touring cars etc that having Hupo on board would open doors for the Team Durango brand & its innovative approach to RC racing design.
