We are thrilled to announce that Team Cayote has achieved a monumental victory at the 2025 EFRA 1/10 Off-Road European Championship, Team Cayote drivers taking the top three spots. With David Ronnefalk claiming the title of European Champion in 1/10 4WD, he marked his 10th Euro title!
We would like to extend a huge thank you to our drivers for their outstanding team performance and product support:
David Ronnefalk: “What an amazing set of finals today. I gave it everything I had from 4th on the grid and I was never going to give up. I pulled off some great moves in the mains and especially towards the end of A3. It could not have gone better, so happy right now! My Cayote powered Xray XB4 with Hitec servo was on rails and gave me the confidence to SEND IT in the finals! ”
Michal Orlowski: “P2 at the 1/10 4WD EFRA European Championships at Hudy Arena. I have given everything I had this week to bring home the win in such difficult conditions for all of us racing at our competition’s factory tracks and on their tyres. We came so close, but a mistake on my side with 20 seconds to go in A3 cost me the win this time.”
Bartek Zalewski: “European Championship is over and done. In 2WD, the speed was there in the two qualification practices, where I finished P1 in both, but they were not counting for the final grid unfortunately. In qualifying, a P2 in the two qualifiers gave me the fifth starting position in the finals. In the finals, I was one point short of the podium, finishing P4. I am happy with this result, but I know the pace was there for something more. In 4WD, P1 and P2 in qualifying gave me 3rd on the start of the finals. I am happy with the finals, P2 and P2 gave me 3rd overall; this is my first podium at Euros and won’t be my last one.”
We are SO proud of the performance from Team Cayote, as our drivers showed incredible passion, precision, and patience, all while executing pure controlled speed. A special shout-out to Bartek Zalewski, who came incredibly close to his first EC title. Amazing effort, Bartek – we’re all behind you!
Our heartfelt congratulations also go out to Team XRAY and Team Schumacher R/C Racing for their remarkable efforts, and a special thanks to all the members and supporters in the background. This victory is not just about our drivers, but the collective power of a unified Team Cayote. Together, we are an unstoppable force!
TEAM CAYOTE: FORCE BE UNIFIED
