The 23-year-old announced the end of his run with Xray posting on his social media, ‘A year goes by fast. 2025 was filled with lifelong memories. I came into this season with no real idea of what was ahead, and it turned into the best year I’ve had in Modified in the few years I’ve been running it. Becoming a National Modified Champion, along with a few wins and countless podiums, made this season unforgettable. More importantly, my goal going into 2025 was to come out a better person—not just on the track, but off it as well—and I truly believe I did just that. With that being said, my short time with XRAY has come to a close. I want to thank Drew Ellis, Brian, John and the rest of RCAmerica/Xray. Stay tuned for what’s ahead into 2026 and beyond!!’

Another TQ run as Ripoll take Q4 just ahead of Catanzani

Xray’s Maxime Ripoll has become the first driver to repeat a TQ run at the IFMAR 1:8 Onroad World Championship, the French talent opening Day 2 of qualifying in Chile with the fastest time for the fourth round ahead of Andrea Catanzani and Toni Gruber, the trio the only drivers who can now take the overall TQ honours. A slightly warmer morning that yesterday in Santiago, Ripol would break 23-laps for the first time over the 7-minutes bettering Catanzani’s Q1 time by over a second, something that could prove key in deciding the Top Qualifier with the second two runs of the day normally proving slower. With Ripoll’s advantage over Catazani’s Serpent 0.233 of a second, while he set the fastest lap for the round, it is his father’s performance in the pit lane that is the big talking point among his rivals, Team Ripoll making up over a second on refuelling. Behind Gruber’s Capricorn, it was the two factory Mugen Seiki’s of Simon Kurzbuch and Shoki Takahata who completed the Top 5. The two former World Champions said afterwards they just lacked pace this round, Kurzbuch reacting with, ‘Only 5th, I don’t know how to find the speed’, the Swiss driver adding they are going to have to try something different for Q5.
