Darren Bloomfield leaves Horizon/TLR

Horizon Hobby UK have made the shock announcement that 2012 EFRA 1/8th Offroad European Champion Darren Bloomfield has left the team. Although a reason was not given we should expect a statement from Darren in the coming days or weeks about a future deal. HH released the following statement:

It is with great disappointment and sadness that Horizon / TLR announce the departure of pro-racer Darren Bloomfield after a long 16 year association with the brand that dates back to the early 1990s when he was a young child. His on-track speed and prowess has always been a characteristic trademark for all to see but we wish to acknowledge and thank Darren for his unerring commitment to us as his sponsors throughout the years.  Darren has been a great asset to the team and an ambassador for TLR / Horizon and we wish him all the very best for the future, both personally and professionally.
