3 Pro 4s
in top 10 at IFMAR ISTC Electric World
Championship!
Team HPI was in full force at the prestigious 2004 IFMAR ISTC
Electric World Championship (Touring Car) in Kissimmee, Florida,
U.S.A. Full Throttle Speedway was the host event, held on their
excellent permanent asphalt race track, complete with realistic
painted curbs to define the track layout. Racing against the top
factory sponsored drivers from around the world, Team HPI Driver
Atsushi Hara finished in 2nd place, Daisuke Yoshioka in 3rd and
Andy Moore finishing with a respectable 6th place. Three cars in
the final meant there were more Pro 4’s going for the title than
any other car!

that shows the competitive advantage of the Pro 4.
