Team Durango have announced that former 10th off road European Champion, Chris Doughty, has joined as a full-time staffer.


Team Durango:
Chris has over 20 years RC Racing experience and more than 5 years contributing to successful RC projects, so he is a perfect fit for Team Durango.


Chris will be Project Co-ordinator at Team Durango, he will responsible for analysing the feedback from the Durango Global Racing Team and our customers towards the continued development of our full range of Durango race cars. Making our cars faster and better suited to our customers needs is a team effort, but Chris will play a big part in coordinating that work.


Chris had the following to say about joining Team Durango:-
“I am incredibly excited by this new opportunity at Team Durango, I have always kept an eye on the development of the Durango cars over the years and it’s clear that their ideas are great, and very well implemented. Being part of this going forward is fantastic and I can’t wait to start working with the Race Team and Durango staff.”

Adam, Hupo, Ryan, Chris, what a so strong team!, also if Neumann and Robert Batlle (testing some brands now, TD one of them) are confirmed in the next months.

Good Luck Chris, Good Luck TD!

What a good news story.

What does employment law state about only employing gifted drivers, not sure. Maybe their next new starter should be a poorly skilled racer of some sort.
