[UPDATE - 12:46PM] As expected rumors of where Hara will take his racing career have begun to soar throughout the industry. Sources tell us that Atsushi Hara was in attendance of the final ETS (Euro Touring Series) at the XRAY Headquarters, but was "not racing." With his onroad AND offroad success, it makes sense for Hara to join a team which offers both genres of vehicles, but there are multiple companies who offer both. Was he just enjoying the ETS race, or is Team XRAY in his future?

[ORIGINAL STORY]

Shocking news has struck the industry today as arguably one of the greatest R/C racers of all-time, Atsushi Hara, has parted ways with his long time HPI Racing / Hot Bodies team.

With the upcoming IFMAR 1:10 Offroad World Championship, we have to question whether or not we will see Hara in attendance, and if so what will he be driving?
