I see from the HPI Europe website that they are sponsoring 2 Lexus IS200's in this years British Touring Car Championship 8)
Lime green and baby blue colour scheme is ehhhh different but works well I think. They unveiled it at Donington on Tuesday with a huge fake antenna on the roof to make it look like a giant r/c car..... :lol: Replica bodyshell to be released soon according to the website..... :roll:

It looks better than it sounds!

Great to see a RC Manufacturer advertising on a 'large' scale :wink: :roll:

Hopefully will bring some more petrol heads into RC

One thing I did notice was how pathetic the real racers rear wing was :shock:
It almost looks like its come off a 1/10th scale bodyset... its tiny :shock: :roll: :wink:

I think HPI have got it spot on with this advertising idea. Now they sponsor cars in Europe and Japan. I wonder what will be next. DTM? Nascar? F1? world domination springs to mind :D
