Scuderia News - Notizie della Scuderia - Season 2025


22.06.2025 - We are Swiss Champions 2025 "Expert class" in Nitro-Buggy 1/8... 🏆💪🔥
After six years of hard work, Scuderia Scampi Rosso has secured the most coveted Swiss championship title with unprecedented dominance. Florent Auderset secured this title by finishing second in the final race of the championship behind race winner Tristan Reignier. Joachim Kallen, who was somewhat unlucky in this race, rounded off this season's success with a strong third place in the championship. The Team Associated RC8B4.1 was the benchmark this season. A total of five (!!!) drivers who trusted in the quality of this racing platform finished in the top 10 of the championship. These vehicles were powered by Ruddog engines and high-quality RunnerTime fuel from Italy. 🔥
In the amateur class, we secured the Swiss vice-champion title with Bruno Pinto and a strong third place with Thomas Beti. Both young drivers will also move up to the expert class next season... 💪
These successes were only possible thanks to the consistent attention to detail of all the drivers who support each other. This naturally includes the important support of Ruddog Distribution, Team Associated, RunnerTime, and the Ongaro family, who are indispensable building blocks of this success. We are infinitely grateful for this. You are also part of this “fairy tale.” We will not rest on our laurels... we will come back even stronger in 2026.
Forza la Scuderia 🦐
Expert: P1 Florent Auderset, P3 Joachim Kallen, P5 Tristan Reignier RC Driver, P8 Daniel Favre, P10 Kallen Michael

The fifth championship race, 1/8 Buggy Nitro, took place on the cool “old school” track in Courgenay. A total of six RC8B4.1s qualified for the expert final, and Florent Auderset climbed to the top of the podium after the 45-minute final. Tristan Reignier came in a strong third.

In the amateur class, Bruno Pinto once again achieved a good top result, finishing third.

Expert: P7 Martin Goumaz, P8 Daniel Favre, P11 Michael Kallen, P13 Jo Kallen

29.06.2025 - Don't crack under the heat - Auderset and Kallen made a fantastic P1 & P2... 🔥💪
Just a small body clip made the difference of a total AE-sweep in Lausanne Le Mont... - Right after the last fuel stops (37:30) of the expert main on round #4 of the swiss nats we saw Florent Auderset, LeJ Kallen and Tristan Reignier cruising for the podium sweep with their RNX.4 and RunnerTime TopEU Fuel powered #RC8B4.1 ... Unfortunately Tristan lost the front body clip forcing him an additional pit stop to fix the issue making it "only" a double victory by Flo and LeJ.... still amazing result under these extreme conditions... On the other hand were delighted to report once more having six (6!!!) AE cars in the expert main.
Here the main-results of this 🔥🔥🔥🔥 weekend in Switzerland
Expert: P1 Flo, P2 LeJ, P4 Tristan, P6 Martin Goumaz, P9 Dan Favre, P10 Miki Kallen

The Offroad track in Villadossola was host of the first swiss nats round in the 1/8th Nitro Buggy class. The Team Associated family in Switzerland gets bigger and stronger, although not all drivers could make it to Italy this season (family and buisness affairs) a strong group, leaded by Joachim Kallen and Florent Auderset made this first race one of the most successfull season-starts of the #scuderiascampirosso so far. Joachim (LeJ) and Florent qualified 3rd and 4th in the expert class. After the semis LeJ grabbed #1 in the grid for the 45 minute final and Flo started 4th. Their Ruddog engines on RunnerTime Fuel powered their #RC8B4.1 race cars for a great double victory this weekend. In total five (5!!) Team Associated race cars were in the big expert-main. 😎
