Coelho dominates LCQ to complete WC grid

Infinity’s Bruno Coelho dominated the LCQ race to book his place in the inaugural eBuggy World Championship final, the Portuguese driver making an early pass on pole sitter Ryan Cavalieri before quickly pulling clear to take an unchallenged win. Not Coelho’s chosen route to tomorrow’s final at Barcelos Buggy Arena, the multiple Onroad & Offroad World Champion found himself in the B-Main after traffic delayed him in the sixth & final qualifier when he was on pace for a run that would have put him 8th on the A-Main grid. With a stacked grid for the 10-minute LCQ, five Americans looking to somehow infiltrate the all European A-Main grid, Coelho needed just a lap to find his way to the front. Having a moment with 4-minutes to go when he got his IFB8 E Prototype up on two wheels and had to save it, such was his lead he still managed to win by over 6-seconds from Xray’s Bartek Zalewski with Mugen Seiki’s Burak Kilic finishing third. Dropping to 5th, Cavalieri maintained his status as the top US driver, on what has been a disappointing World Championships showing for the nation.

Coelho Top Qualifier at European Championships

Infinity’s Bruno Coelho is the Top Qualifier at the 2025 EFRA 1:10 Electric Touring Car European Championships. Racing at the unique Raco2000 track layout in the Netherlands, the reigning World Champion secured pole for tomorrow’s finals with his fastest time of the five qualifiers in penultimate round. With Michal Orlowski taking Friday evening’s opening qualifier after a early mistake hampered Top Seed Coelho, the Schumacher driver would open Day 2’s action with another TQ as Coelho suffered a tyre failure at the end of the run while on TQ pace. The Portuguese driver would eventually deliver in Q3 topping the times ahead of Mugen Seiki’s Ronald Volker and Awesomatix’s Lucas Urbain as tyre strategy came into play. Coelho repeated again in Q4, bettering his previous time by 1.4-seconds, to take the round ahead of Orlowski and Volker. With Orlowski needing to take the final qualifier and do so in a better time than Coelho’s Q4 pace, unfortunately for the Polish driver a mechanical on the opening lap meant his challenge for the overall TQ was over. In the end it was Alexander Hagberg, from the second fastest heat, who took a surprise Q5 TQ ahead of defending Champion Marc Rheinard to grab Xray a late Top 5 grid position in the A-Main. Overall behind Coelho and Orlwowski, Rheinard will line-up in third ahead of Volker with Urban in sixth behind Hagberg. In Pro Stock, Xray’s Adam Izsay claimed the overall TQ ahead of Awesomatix’s Max Mächler, again the tie breaker deciding pole as both drivers posted two TQ runs each. Topping Q4, Olivier Bultynck starts P3 ahead of Frederik Hovgaard.

Balestri defends European title to go 3-in-a-row

Dario Balestri has successfully defended his EFRA 1:8 Onroad European Championship title, the Infinity driver going 3-in-a-row when he clinched the 2025 title at the Halifax track in the UK today ahead of Top Qualifier Simon Kurbuch and Carmine Riola. Qualifying 2nd, Balestri would make the pass for the lead on Kurzbuch coming onto the main straight as the race approached the 8-minute mark and once in front the Italian controlled the 45-minute encounter to win by over 9-seconds. While Balestri established his lead, the only time the reigning World Champion relinquished that lead being when he was the first driver to pit for a full tyre change, the main entertainment came from the battle between Kurzbuch’s Mugen Seiki and Riola’s Infinity as they swapped position. In the dying moments of the race Riola was all over the back of the Swiss driver but attempting a pass with half a minute left on the clock he went off the track rejoining a distance third to complete the podium ahead of Capricorn’s Mirko Salemi. The fourth of the direct qualifiers Serpent’s Andrea Catanzani would fail to finish due to engine issues, Teemu Leino would crash out just after 5-minutes, and a difficult day for Capricorn’s Toni Gruber would end with a DNF, the German having had issues in his Semi and had to come through the Last Chance Final to line-up P11 on the grid. For Balestri today’s title win means he is again the double nitro onroad European Champion having won the 1:10 Nitro Touring title in the Netherlands in June and brings his EFRA European Championship tally to 11.

Kato takes eBuggy at Asian Buggy C/ships Australia

Infinity’s Kouki Kato has won eBuggy at the Australian round of the Team Cayote backed Asian Buggy Championships. Armed with a prototype of Infinity’s upcoming 1:8 eBuggy kit release, the Japanese driver qualified second to Team Associated’s Alex Bernadzik at the Pine Hills Dirt Racing track in Brisbane but after taking the win in Saturday’s A1 was able to secure his first Championship eBuggy win with another win in A3. The winner of the previous two rounds of Asian Buggy Championships in Nitro Buggy, the 19-year-old emulated that nitro success of winning first time out. Making his ABC debut at the season finale in Indonesia last last year and winning, making his electric buggy debut ‘Down Under’ this weekend he also delivered the win. Having won A2 with ease, Bernadzik looked in control of A3 but a mistake dropped the Aussie back to third leaving Sparko’s Tyler Jones to try to chase down Kato. Despite putting in the fastest lap, the American couldn’t do anything to get passed, a late error giving Kato the chance to breath and bring home the win. With a second from A1 and the win in A2, Bernadzik secured second overall with Jones, having two P2 finishes, completing the podium ahead of Mayako’s Pekko Iivonen.

Infinity IF14 Speciale 1:10 Electric Touring Car

After months of anticipation Infinity has released its brand new Electric Touring Car challenger, the IF14 Speciale. Since the key signing of 3-time reigning ISTC World Champion Bruno Coelho at the beginning of 2025, the multiple Nitro Onroad World Champion manufacturer has been busy working on the development of a new electric touring car with which it aims to re-establish the brand in the electric category. On releasing the new car and its ‘Speciale’ naming, Infinity explained, ‘Spec1ale comes from a great story and a unique moment in RC history, where it brings together a World Champion brand owner, a World Champion touring car designer, and a World Champion driver on the same project to make a brand-new adventure happen: the IF14 Spec1ale.’ On it thought process behind developing the new car they say, ‘To create a unique car, we worked deeply to eliminate common weaknesses found in the market. Designing a lighter platform for better weight distribution, making it easier to work on with smart mechanical engineer simplifications, and addressing every setup change possibilities to maximise overall performance, these were the key points of the project and the core focus behind the IF14 Spec1ale.’

Balestri retains European Nitro Touring Car title

Infinity’s Dario Balestri has retained his 1:10 European Nitro Touring Car title, the Italian claiming his 10th EFRA European Championship career win today at the iconic Apeldoorn track in Netherlands. The reigning 1:8 Onroad World Championship took the win ahead of team-mate Carmine Raiola with 2023 Champion Toni Gruber completing the podium for Capricorn. In qualifying it was reigning World Champion Jilles Groskamp who secured the TQ ahead of Raiola, Balestri and Polish driver Jakub Rozycki – the Top 4 going directly to the 45-minute Main final. With Gruber and Melvin Diekmann winning their Semi finals they completed the top half of the grid. Topping 3 of the 5 qualifiers, Groskamp continued his form in the final setting a very fast pace out front and the fastest lap but a flameout on lap 69 would end the Dutch ace’s challenge. With tyre strategy proving critical, while Raiola took over the lead he would run out of tyres allowing Balestri to take the lead which he would hold to the finish. Taking over lead for a number of laps as the pit stops played out, Gruber looked like he had a strategy that could pay dividends but he would suffer a flameout. Finishing on the same lap as Riola, the German still completed the podium. A steady race from Rozycki saw him finish fourth ahead of the Mugen of British Champion Alex Thurston.
