Shortly before 6 AM CT, HB Racing published a teaser image to its Facebook page showing off the front end of an upcoming 1/8-scale buggy with the simple caption "GOOD NEWS for everyone who waited for the brand new... coming soon! #hbracing #racing #teaser."

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be an engine head visible beyond the cab of the body - suggesting it could be the E817 buggy that David Ronnefalk drove to the Euros win and was first announced back in September. However, given the direction of engine head shrinkage among manufacturers there's no promise that it's not an updated version of the D815 V2, perhaps giving a nod to Ronnefalk's IFMAR Worlds victory.

More information will be shared when it becomes available.
