Capricorn has announced that leading international 1:8 GT racer Alex D’angelo has joined its team. The Italian makes the move from another of Italy’s chassis mnufacturers Genius Racing with who he claimed the TQ honours at the 1:8 GT World Championship in Australia last year as well as securing the highly competitive Italian Nitro GT National Championship title. On the announcement D’angelo posted, ‘Excited to announce I will be joining Team Capricorn. Thank you Patrizio for wanting me so much on your team, I can’t wait to get on the track with the new LAB GT2 GP & EP and more. Feeling ready and motivated for the challenges ahead. See you on track!’. With Capricorn producing chassis for a number of racing categories and set to release its first Large Scale, we expect D’angelo to play a roll in the development of that new project.
