Balestri holds overnight TQ at 1:8 Onroad Euros

Infinity’s defending Champion Dario Balestri holds the overnight TQ at the 2025 EFRA 1:8 Onroad European Championship which is taking place at the Halifax track located in the centre of the UK. The 23rd running of the championships, the Italian posted the fastest time of today’s opening two qualifiers after a mistake led to a P8 run in Q1. The first of the five scheduled qualifiers would see Mugen Seiki’s Simon Kurzbuch top the times ahead of Top Seed Carmine Riola, the Infinity driver the most consistent as he posted the second fastest time for both rounds. While Balestri set the pace in Q2, a moment for Kurzbuch in the second half of the 4-minute qualifier meant the former World Champion ended up 14th fastest but with 1 of 2 counting he sits second, his Q1 TQ time over 2-seconds slower than the reigning World Champion’s Q2 effort. Riola sits third going into tomorrow’s three remaining qualifiers ahead of Capricorn’s Toni Gruber, counting a P3 from Q2, and Serpent’s Andrea Catanzani, who was third fastest in Q1. Reigning British Champion Alex Thurston completes the Top 6 with his Mugen Seiki with 3 of 5 set to count for the final qualification ranking.

Team Corally SSX-125 1:12 Kit

Once a well known manufacturer in the competition 1:12 market, Corally has just announced their re-entry into category with the new SSX-125. Designed in Belgium, Corally say the SSX-125 builds on their renowned competition heritage and blends precision engineering with cutting-edge design to deliver unrivalled corner speed, stability, and ease of maintenance. Focusing on lowering the centre of gravity while ensuring perfect balance, by placing the aluminium chassis at the bottom and utilising a new rear damper system that eliminates the centre shock, the car’s weight is distributed efficiently. Components are carefully positioned to balance the chassis from right to left and front to back, resulting in superior cornering stability, improved handling, and better overall control, giving drivers a competitive edge on the track. The SSX125 offers a choice between 2mm 7075 aluminium and 2.5mm high-quality carbon fibre chassis plates, each precisely machined with strategically placed cutouts to optimise flex and rigidity. The aluminium version delivers a more stable feel on high-grip tracks, while the carbon chassis provides a nimble, responsive driving experience. Choose the option that best matches your driving style and track conditions. Corally say they have optimised the front suspension with a fixed camber of 0.5 degrees and a caster of 6 degrees, ensuring optimal performance. The solid suspension arms are mounted securely to the chassis using screws and a precision-molded pin system to keep everything perfectly aligned. Additionally, a carbon plate attached on top adds rigidity, while its removal provides an extra option for adjusting chassis flex, allowing for fine-tuning to suit different track
