Nicolas Bregante takes South American title

The 2016 South American Championship and FAMAR Cup was recently held in the city of Medellin, Colombia. With the track being located 3000 metres above sea level everyone had a hard time adjusting the engines to the conditions. The opening qualifier was held on Thursday with Q2 and Q3 being run on Friday but due to rain the final qualifier had to be postponed until Saturday. Nicolas Bregante would come out fastest in the 1/8th Nitro Buggy qualifiers to grab the overall TQ and he would also take the pole position for the hour long A-main after winning his semifinal in very muddy conditions due to a big storm. Nicolas continued to dominate the race by also coming out fastest in the A-main to take the South American Championship title from runner-up, Carlos Segui.

Final result:
1. Nicolas Bregante
2. Carlos Segui
3. Oswaldo Chamo Natera
4. Enrique Winike
5. Adrian Castro
6. Juan Pablo Torres
7. Daniel Ochoa
8. Luis Quintero
