Jean-Pierrick Sartel
We are very happy present Jean-Pierrick Sartel as a 2025 TRC Team Driver!
JP is a former European E-buggy champion and one of the fastest and most skilled racers in France with dozens of race wins behind his name 🔥🚀.
He has been using TRC Valve Pistons in the popular configuration requested by our partner Mr. Wartelle, as well as the current Valve Pistons developed by the TRC Team, both to great success 🤩.
JP's knowledge will undoubtedly be helpful in developing shock setups for the often difficult tracks found in the Northern France region and especially for the many Tekno drivers 💪👌.
Here's 5 things we asked Jean-Pierrick, so you can get to know him a little better 😉:
𝟭) 𝗵𝗼𝘄/𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗖?
I actually started RC in August 2009 after participating in the famous Noeux-les-Mines semi-night race in a promotional 4x4. Without any training, the results were good, and the following year we decided to compete in the promotional league championship.
Thanks to my grandparents, I've been lucky enough to attend almost all of the 1/8 nitro European championships during school holidays since I was young.
When the whole family shares the same passion, it definitely makes you want to do it. 👍🏻
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my grandparents and Jerome, who did a lot for me when I was starting out.
