Another exciting season of the SuperCampeonato de España de Rallyes (S-CER). The podium in the ‘la Nuncia’ stage was a real treat for the duo Cohete Suarez and Alberto Iglesias, crowning them champions of the 2023 season, ahead of the championship finale.
UFI Filters also raced alongside Team Recalvi during this season, who returned to the top step of the podium with 266 points in the standings, conquering race after race.
On board the new UFI-branded Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, the Recalvi duo of José Antonio “Cohete” Suarez and Alberto Iglesias demonstrated their skills in asphalt and dirt stages by returning to win the championship after 2021. We are now looking forward to the season finale, for the title also on gravel in the CERT championship, the Spanish Cup of Rallies de Terra.
The Supercampeonato de España de Rallyes (S-CER) is Spain’s first mixed rally combining asphalt and gravel races. The S-CER was born in 2018 out of the desire of the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation (RFEDA) to encourage the multidisciplinary training of Spanish drivers by having the merit of bringing together the best drivers, co-drivers, brands and teams in the Spanish scene.
Excellence and stubbornness in achieving ever higher goals: these are the values that led the UFI Filters Group to sponsor Team Recalvi for the third year running, witnessing both the 2021 victory and this year’s.
UFI Filters President Giorgio Girondi says: “I congratulate the entire Recalvi team on their victory. Cohete Suarez and Alberto Iglesias are a testament to the fact that to achieve the best you need passion, the same passion that drives us at UFI to develop and deliver the most advanced filtration solutions, even for ‘extreme’ performance.”
Eduardo Martì, General Manager of UFI Filters Iberica comments on the victory: “We are proud of the result achieved by Cohete Suarez and Alberto Iglesias and we congratulate the entire Recalvi Team, our distributor and one of the main players in the Iberian Aftermarket. For us at UFI it is important to share the values of excellence and healthy competitiveness embodied by the world of Rallying.”
Driver José Antonio Suarez, says he is “Satisfied with this year’s performance. The new Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 did not disappoint expectations. Our teamwork and commitment allowed us to return to the top of the S-CER and we are grateful to all our supporters and sponsors who, like UFI Filters, accompanied us in all the races of the season.”
Alberto Iglesias adds: “It’s not just about technical ability, or the performance of the car: our victory is the result of the synergy and teamwork that allowed us to give our best in every race.”
