Well, since Masami won his first World title in '87 with a Schumacher Cat powered by an Uno motor, he has been with Reedy/Yokomo and that works out at 18 years.

There is no way that ORION would post something like that unless they were 100% certain that it is a fact.
Masami will run ORION equipment in these worlds.

no probs. To be fair I still think Reedy/Yokomo/Associated will always still be a close nit group, even if Masami is now moving to Orion. They have worked so hand in hand for years and it obviuosly works, believe they have more combined titles than anyone !!
This years TC Worlds is gonna be a good one

He's not running Orion Cells though. But i belive there were problems with the GM brushless rotors not being legal i think they had sintered magnets on them. So he knows he is in need of some power.

The Reedy camp seems to be all about brushless lately. That might be one of the reasons for the change for Masami. And its a good replacement for Orion since losing Hara. Reedy will still be in full force. I wouldnt be suprised if you see a Reedy brushless in the show.

This could be coming full circle now!
There is still speculation that the UNO motor that MAsami won the 87 Worlds with was actually a Peak Motor with Uno sticker. Masami was supposed to run Peak at that Worlds, but ended up with a Uno sticker on it. The Uno motors were made by Peak Performance at the time of the race. This is all still speculation as nothing can be proven unless that motor could be analyzed.
Welcome to the Team Masami!!
Congradulations Phillipe and Rick on the 1/12 Worlds.
Good Luck in touring car.
