That company also probably "bought" other essential "personnel" too? I doubt it.
who knows, pre-determined result in compitition is common and under table enough.
as long as someone is powerful enough (in the case of money and influence) cheating is common.

how can a same fueltank suddenly become bigger? expansion due to the temperature?

No comments ... I don't want all us Serpent folks get labeled as sore losers. I've said this at 3hobby and I'll say it again (and another old man here agrees 'cos he says it too) ... the 710 has 7 national titles as well as the European Champion. We KNOW its a great and fast car. In an world class event, a long final can have many outcomes and money thrown to a "dream team" and the best equipment WILL bring huge advantages.

I'm afraid it does. Temperature variations DO expand the tank quite a bit.

Yes. That's why in the last 2003 Euros where Michael was champ with the 705 (God Bless it's soul), they cooled the cars down in an airconditioned room before taking measurements.

My opinion is simply that Kyosho are doing a very good job out there - I'm not of the opinion that anyone is playing any cloak-and-daggers games here. Even if a team bought a load of star drivers, it isn't certain that they would perform, look at where some of the pre-favourites are - way down on the list.

I'm enjoying the coverage and the competition of the WC - what ever the outcome.

Agreed, that's why I said at 3hobby.com that Kyosho deserves to win this one.

... am enjoying it too but this is like going to a lap dancing thingy ... can look at bits only and can't touch!

The prophet needs to bless his 710 perhaps for this one?

Default Serpent Motorsport sign rising star ‘Rick V’

It's now official !

http://www.mytsn.com/news/publ.asp?pid=10733

It looks like those pics were taken before MS left for Brazil.

p/s: Dates mentioned for the Winternats are incorrect. They should be February 6-12, 2005.

I wonder if those grey short sleeve shirts are still in production. That'd be very nice to put on.
