At the very last day of 2022, another big announcement goes around the world: Ryan Cavalieri will run the WRC 1:8 Offroad cars in his 2023 racing programme. These news popped up on the WRC Facebook page early morning. With Cavalieri or TLR (his former team) not having announced his departure at any time, it was quiet a big surprise on the market of 1:8 scale Offroad. Ryan Cavalieri is one of the best drivers in history of RC, and WRC can be very excited to have such a big name flying their flag in the US.
As mentioned before, there was no official statement from Cavalieri or TLR until now, so it is kind of undecided which cars the american star will run at his 1:10 scale races in 2023 – stay tuned!
