Renato Tradardi Jr. and RC8.2 Crowned Copa Sudamericana TT Champion

Wednesday, Nov 9, 2011 at 12:00am UTC

The Copa Sudamericana TT took place in Santiago at the Pista San Bernardo XRC Racing facility in the beautiful country of Chile. Stretching down the West coast of South America, Chile is one of the most prosperous nations in South America, thus making it a great destination for the annual “Cup of South America.”

Team Associated’s Renato Tradardi Jr. from Venezuela was on hand to represent Team Associated and their distributor RT Racing Products. With his brand new RC8.2 buggy, Tradardi Jr. navigated the ever-changing surface throughout the five-day event with patience and ease.

Comparing his finish against entrants from outside of the FAMAR (Fourth Association of Model Auto Racing) organization for this race, Tradardi Jr. held his own, finishing third overall. However,  he finished first overall among the other FAMAR entrants, which earned Tradardi Jr. the overall title win and the first Copa Sudamericana TT Championship of his young career -- just 2 laps ahead of his nearest competitor!

Special thanks to RT Racing Products for this report.
