Amazing Hero Interview – Masami Hirosaka

Amazing Hero Interview – Masami Hirosaka

Masami Hirosaka, undisputedly one of the all-time pilots of RC cars, has filtered out into the World Wide Web quite a few pictures of him standing among his amazing collection of trophies. This is one of them…and as you can see the man is a machine. Masami has won 14 World Titles in his 32 years of racing and in 2008 retired from the sport, but only as a driver. He continues to be involved in RC as much as he can and has been working with up-and-coming drivers.

Recently I found this interview with Masami. It’s from a site called Hero’s Interview and, being translated from Japanese, is a bit hard to read but you definitely get the picture of how he trained to be the best.
