AGM 2022 Done and time to bid farewell to our outgoing president Javier Garcia. So sad to see you go but so grateful for the time you gave to transform #rcmotorsporteurope. Your vision and energy for our sport was truly a gift to our community and though there is still so much work to be done – the base you established with your Development Plan is an inspiration that will live on for many years to come!
Now we welcome our new President Jacqueline Aebi! Jackie is also a true pioneer in our sport, developing the original lap timing software that went on to be acquired by MYRCM.
With such a fundamental desire to push our racing forward and Jackie’s commitment to continue Javier’s Development Plan, plus her years of experience on the executive board serving as Treasurer – we’re confident EFRA is in safe hands.
Javier Garcia
Dear friends around the World,
I want to post you my last message as EFRA President & Section Chairman.
Maybe for some of you could be a surprise or you can ask WHY.
Since I got my position as EFRA Section Chairman in 2015 and 3 years later EFRA President 2018, I always tried to do my best for EFRA and for RC Community, doing everything possible to keep EFRA Standards in the Official races and also to push RC Community to move forward into a new era in RC Motorsport. It was a hard work, so many of my free time out of my family and bussines (don’t forget that this is a volunteer position), so many meetings, so many pressure from everyone, mails, chats, talks, races… But always with motivation and passion and with aim to make something new, fresh and to grow RC. This was reason to make EFRA Development Plan.
But after years, I couldn’t reach the goals I had in mind. Because of lack of interest of the RC Community and lack of progress of the Development Plan, I started to loose passion and motivation. And with those two words nothing really can happen. RC has been always a positive thing in my life since I was a kid. Now, unfortunately, it’s not like this. RC in last year have been negative with so many pressure, so many problems. So, since the beginning of the year I didn’t feel strong enough to continue in my responsibilities in EFRA.
I’m completely sure that next step to progress must be to invest more time, to invest more resources, fresh officials and to change rules, procedures and formats. In one sentence: move everything outside of our “comfortable area”. And one of my mistakes is to think that we can do such a big project without support and clear determination from a big part of the community.
But Ey! No drama. I had the opportunity to met a fantastic people around the World: drivers, Organisers, Manufactures, EFRA, IFMAR and National Federations… I visited a lot of countries (better said: tracks, hotels & airports) and I got in my memories a superb experience in these 7 years.
Thanks to EFRA board, National Federations, Organizers, RC companies, drivers and mechanics to give me the chance to be part of the RC family!
I will never say never but, from now, I’ll be disconnected of the RC for a while in order to rest, to spend time with my family and to keep my concentration in all my bussines. Let’s see in the future!
Good Luck Jacqueline Aebi as new EFRA President and I wish you all the best!
Big hug for all of you!
