With the 1/8th scale buggy World Championship warm up race taking place in Pattaya this week, we thought it would be a good time to release an interview we made 2 weeks ago with the current European Champion Renaud Savoya. For those who don’t know, the French Mugen RB driver is currently based in Australia, taking advantage of the great weather and the country’s relative proximity to Thailand. A two part session, both of which you can view right here, we get the lowdown on Renaud down under and check in on how his preparations are going as he aims to defend his European crown and take his first World title later in the year.
