huge loss to schumacher

Maybe its to make way for Naoto?

He hasn't announced an off road deal yet.......and with the worlds being on an artificial surface.........and the KF is awesome on this surface.

Don't rule it out!

Dumb qns...but is Tom no longer racing for Schumacher?
I know he's no longer working for them, but racing wise, is he like an independent now?

He just won a race last wkend with the Yokomo YZ-2.

Cracking the U,S market could make Schumacher a global company, the sales into that country would bring a huge income to them and with that comes more development and greater racing success.

So not having a star U,S driver is a bad business move, to sacrifice a few of the many U,K backed drivers in favour of one U,S ace would make sense as I have heard say almost every man and his dog in the U,K is a team Schumacher sponsored driver.

After all one year with one DB and the KF has proved that quality is better then quantity.

It's a shame that Caraon has left Schumacher but I guess this was his own choice and not that of Schumacher. AE will be able to give him a lot of support in the US, and Schuey just isn't in that position in the US. It also looks like Tom has decided to drive Yokomo cars this year, maybe influenced by his friend Mr Martin? I'm sure that Schuey will have other drivers come through, there's still some big names that haven't signed for 1/10th off road yet, a certain German and Japanese superstars are still available!
