Q&A with Hobbytech's Nico Rodriguez
Having only signed highly-rated French driver Nicolas Rodriguez at the end of last week, Hobbytech have sent us a re-introduction to the French racer in the form of a question and answer session.
Hi Nicolas, we learn recently your new deal with Hobbytech, so you are the first international driver of the brand. Introduce yourself ! What were your motivations to join Hobbytech ?
Nicolas Rodriguez, 34 years old, i live in Marseille, south of France, where the sun is always shine and we can drive all seasons. So, I've change my car after a short time with Serpent Cobra because I've a new opportunity of Hobbytech with an interresting challenge and a team over motivated, dynamic, ambitious with many projects.
What are your car's feeling ? What are specifications of the Spirit ?
About the Spirit, after just a day of training, I was convinced by the car. Immediatly, i had an easy car, great steering lock, more grip and easy driving. The maintenance is easily, is very important in competition. Hobbytech is a french brand so it's very important for me.
