The ENS team are saddened to hear of the passing of Felix Heyse today. Felix was well-known in the nitro RC community as one of the most popular mechanics, as well as being an accomplished racer himself. Operating the fuel gun for famous racers including Robert Pietsch, Jilles Groskamp and Teemu Leino might be where most people recognised him, but Felix was the type who was happy to chat to everyone in the pits, helping hobby racers through to professionals.
Felix always had a smile on his face and was someone that we’ve all shared a beer with over time. A real ambassador for nitro racing, his attention to detail and passion for the sport not only netted his drivers countless victories, but meant he was a character everyone sought out for support or to share a story.
We will all miss having Felix with us at the racetrack and will take time to reflect on all he has done for our hobby. Our deepest condolences are with his family and close friends at this time.
Rest in peace, Felix.
