Orlowski leaves Hobbywing and Sunpadow

While social media has been filled with news of driver departures from various sponsors, one of the hottest properties in electric racing in recent years, Michal Orlowski, has just announced the end of his very successful relationship with Hobbywing and Sunpadow.  The 23-year-old Polish driver joined Hobbywing for the 2022 season, also announcing at the end of 2021 he had joined Sunpadow batteries, and in that time took his first World title winning the 2023 IFMAR 1:12 World Championship.  He also finished runner-up at the ISTC Worlds in November to fellow Hobbywing driver Bruno Coelho.   In offroad he also achieved a 1:10 Offroad Worlds podium finish with both manufacturers and he is the reigning European 2WD 1:10 Offroad Champion.  Making the announcement, Orlowski posted, ‘As of 31st December 2024 I am no longer a Hobbywing and Sunpadow team driver.  I would like to thank both of these companies for the tremendous support over the past 3 years that we have worked together and their belief and trust in me.  These have been the most successful years of my life thus far, however I am extremely excited for what the future holds for me.  Look out for my new electronics and battery sponsors in the next few days!
