News – LiveRC.com – IFMAR Worlds Practice Coverage from Thailand‏

Oct 072010

Coverage is now live for the unofficial practice session in Pattaya, Thailand for the upcoming IFMAR Fuel 1:8 Buggy World Championships. Coverage of this event is brought to you by AKA and Team Associated! Without their help, we would not be able to bring you this coverage.

This week, all of the major teams have agreed to come to Thailand and test for the Worlds. While the teams are practicing, LiveRC.com is here testing as well to make sure everything will go smoothly for our broadcast of the World Championships in November. As of today, we are fully up and running with two camera views for lap times, pictures, race reports, interviews, and more. Go now to www.LiveRC.com and log in to get all the info!

Throughout the week, we will also bring you spy shots and interviews talking about a variety of new products from various companies, including some hot new items from AKA Products. We will also get you the inside scoop on some of the new parts and ideas that some of the teams are trying.

11 of the 12 drivers that were in the 2008 IFMAR 1:8 Fuel Buggy A-Main Final are here testing. Taylor James is the only driver who made the Main who is absent; however, it was confirmed that he will be here racing at the Worlds in November. Plenty of other past world champions are here testing as well, including Mark Pavidis and Yuuichi Kanaii.
