Another unforgettable season in the Supercampeonato de España de Rallyes (S-CER). With their victory in Catalunya, Team Recalvi’s crew — José Antonio “Cohete” Suárez and Alberto Iglesias — secured the 2025 national title with one race to spare.
UFI Filters, a proud sponsor of the team since 2021, celebrates a success built on performance, innovation, and passion.
A Season of Excellence
Behind the wheel of the UFI-branded Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 — a 1.6-liter turbo engine with 289 horsepower and all-wheel drive — Suárez and Iglesias dominated a demanding calendar across both asphalt and gravel stages, turning consistency and strategy into victory.
The triumph in Catalunya mathematically sealed the championship, confirming the Recalvi duo among the elite of Spanish rallying, following their titles in 2021 and 2023 and their third-place finish in 2024.
The Value of Partnership
Established in 2021, the collaboration between UFI Filters and Recalvi — the Iberian distributor’s racing team — is built on shared values: excellence, determination, and technology.
UFI’s presence in motorsport goes beyond sponsorship; it reflects the Group’s deep commitment to innovation and the development of advanced filtration solutions designed for the most “extreme” operating conditions.
The S-CER: A Talent and Technology Laboratory
Launched by the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation (RFEDA) in 2018, the Supercampeonato combines stages on mixed surfaces, rewarding driver versatility and teamwork.
It serves as the perfect proving ground for performance and reliability — the very same principles that underpin UFI’s technological leadership.
Eduardo Martí, General Manager, UFI Filters Iberica:
“Success is born from excellence, and today Team Recalvi has proven capable of meeting the greatest challenges. I wish to congratulate the entire team on this outstanding victory. Cohete Suárez and Alberto Iglesias perfectly embody the passion and dedication required to achieve exceptional results.
It’s the same passion that drives UFI Filters in the research and development of cutting-edge filtration solutions, designed to ensure maximum performance even in the toughest conditions.”
José Antonio Suárez, Team Recalvi Driver:
“This success in Catalunya and the championship victory are the result of an extraordinary collective effort. I want to express my deepest gratitude to my co-driver, Alberto Iglesias, and to the entire Team Recalvi for their dedication and professionalism throughout the season.
A special thanks goes to UFI Filters for their continuous support and unwavering trust. Without this team and our partners, achieving these goals would have been impossible.”
