Azri isn't sponsored. TP-racing doesn't sponsor anyone.

imagine not having spend a single cent to play RC!
I was told by a fren of Chee Yong that he's sponsored by : ( here goes the list )
Yokomo Japan/Malaysia, Sanwa (Asia Pacific), Sorex, Integy, Fantom & Powertrak.

And I mean fully sponsored!

now i understand why u want to be sponsored so much.but us 'normal' human beings would just have to be satisfied with the occasional wins and stuff bought with cold hard cash.

whatever happened to the track opposite the hotel (northam?) near gurney drive? i saw elec TC racers there a few yrs back but since then, the track seemed to be abandoned?

Well, that track is gone. I think the owner of the track could not keep up the rental of that place.
As for Pg racers, they race or play at PISA stadium. They practice on a open parking lot. I think they play almost everyday after 5pm there. And thats for on-road nitro only. As for off-road, it died like few years back.

when you say about 'sponsorship', it comes in various forms.. some drivers are being paid to drive, some are given equipment and stuff for free, some are allowed to get parts for really low price.. so there are different level of sponsorship..

so in that perspective.. azri is sponsored, the distributors here do sponsor the good drivers.. it's a marketing tool, if a make win lots of races, a lot of hobbyist will probably go for that make..
