Lee Martin to leave Tamiya TRF

As we hinted at in our Driver Market story last week, UK front runner Lee Martin today announced that Tamiya TRF have chosen not to renew his contract having decided to reduce operations in the off-road market for the foreseeable future. After a four year campaign with the Japanese manufacturer Lee is now looking for a new 1/10th off-road ride for the 2014 season and beyond. The runner-up of the 2WD class at the 2013 IFMAR World Championships should have no problems to find a new chassis sponsor given his CV that includes four IFMAR Worlds finals, four European and four national championships as well as a vast amount of individual national wins. A driver of Lee’s level should have no problem attracting offers but as stated previously we expect him to sign a deal with Yokomo.
