Team Associated takes 34th IFMAR WC

The 34th win for Team Associated is in the books courtesy of Marcus Kaerup at the Barcelos Buggy Arena in Portugal and the RC8B4.1e.

From Team Associated:

“A1 began and Kaerup had pressure from second qualifier Michal Orlowski for the first half of the final, but after a small mistake from Orlowski allowed a 4 second gap to develop, Kaerup cruised to the A1 win; putting him in the driver’s seat for the title. A2 got underway and an early mistake from Orlowski allowed Davide Ongaro to slot into second place behind Kaerup. As the minutes ticked off the clock, Kaerup inched away from the 4x World Champion and with the poise of his idol, Ayrton Senna, Kaerup stayed focused on his racing lines and power delivery to cross the line in A2 as the first IFMAR 1:8 Electric Off-Road World Champion! With the title wrapped up, the remaining 12 drivers battled it out for final positions in A3 which secured 3rd and 5th overall for the Team Associated racers Davide Ongaro and Clement Boda respectively.”

Congratulations to the Marcus and everyone representing Associated Electrics at the event.
