See: Team Yokomo
We finally round off our ‘Pit News‘ segment from the 1/10 Worlds Warm up at Yatabe Arena in Japan [See Photo gallery] with a little look at Yokomo.
They had by their standards a rough weekend in 4WD, but the feeling from the team was one where they didn’t really seem worried or faxed at all about it. Well, come post-race Monday testing and we knew why.
Yokomo’s Shin Adachi moved his pit table all the way to the other side of the track and literally built a wall of carton boxes like a fortress so no-one could approach him and see what he was getting up to. Shin was building a new 4WD prototype for Lee Martin to test. The plain white car (probably blending in with all the other plain white cars testing that day!) looked fast on the track and very silent. Interestingly, black duct tape covered the front and rear ends of the car, to hide the bulkheads.
We attempted to contact Lee for a comment on the 4WD prototype, his response – “Dunno what your talking about”
