An unexpected change has taken place in the 1:10 touring car modified class. Eric Dankel has announced his departure from his long-term chassis sponsor Mugen Seiki, and is joining the Awesomatix factory team for 2024 and beyond. Eric was a major part in Mugen Seiki`s electric touring car programme, and helped to develop the MTC-1, MTC-2, and MTC-2R in the last 7 years. His best season with Mugen Seiki (2023) saw him two times on the ETS podium (Apeldoorn and Aigen) and finishing fifth at the EFRA euros in Türkheim. Now, Eric will rock the Awesomatix A800R at many major events.

We are pleased to announce the addition of the German racer Eric Dankel to the Factory Team. Eric is a known racer with a lot of experience from the past years racing all around the World. Vice European Champion, Multiple German Champion, Multiple EC A-Main finalist and ETS modified podium finisher are just a few of his best achievements in the past years! We are looking forward to see Eric at the Euro Touring Series events as well as other well known regional and European events.
“First of all I want to thank everybody at Mugen Seiki for their support in the past years. I decided to start a new challenge, and I am more than happy to join the Awesomatix Team for the upcoming season. Thanks everyone for your support”
