Over the years, the Portuguese driver established himself as one of the most successful RC drivers in the world, winning multiple prestigious titles. His list of accomplishments includes victories in the World Championships, European Championships, ETS titles, and countless other international events. Coelho’s tenure with Xray saw him fine-tuning his skills while piloting some of the most innovative and high-performance cars in the RC industry.

At Xray, Coelho worked closely with the company’s engineering team around Martin Hudy, helping to develop and refine new technologies that would go on to be used by drivers around the world. His performance with Xray cars became a symbol of precision and reliability, earning him a reputation as one of the most consistent and skilled drivers in the sport.

The Move to Infinity

In a surprising but exciting turn of events, Coelho announced his decision to switch to the Infinity team, known for their innovative engineering and strong presence in the high-end RC market. Infinity, which has gained a reputation for its state-of-the-art racing machines and focus on elite-level competition, now gains one of the sport’s top talents.

This move is expected to offer Coelho new challenges and opportunities, allowing him to test himself with different cars, setups, and technologies.

The change could potentially offer a new perspective on his driving style and further push him to develop and grow as a driver.

Coelho’s switch to Infinity may also reflect his desire to stay at the forefront of RC racing technology. Infinity has made significant strides in recent years, and by joining their team, Coelho is aligning himself with a brand that is focused on both performance and innovation. The collaboration is likely to lead to new developments in the design of Infinity cars and may influence the evolution of RC technology.

What Does This Mean for Infinity?

For Infinity, bringing Bruno Coelho into their team is a major win. Coelho’s expertise, experience, and success in high-pressure racing environments will strengthen the team’s competitive edge. With Coelho behind the wheel, Infinity will have a seasoned driver capable of extracting the maximum potential from their cars and providing valuable feedback to their engineering team. This partnership may also open the door to further sponsorships and brand collaborations, elevating Infinity’s status in the RC world.

Infinity has established itself as a high-performance brand with a strong presence in the global racing community, and Coelho’s arrival will further cement its position among the elite. His contribution to the team is expected to go beyond just driving, as he will likely assist in testing, refining, and evolving their cars, ensuring that they stay ahead of the competition.

A New Era in RC Racing

Bruno Coelho’s decision to switch from Xray to Infinity marks the beginning of an exciting new era for both the driver and the team. For Coelho, the move offers fresh challenges and opportunities to continue his dominance in the sport, while Infinity stands to gain a wealth of experience and expertise in their quest for racing supremacy.

The partnership between Coelho and Infinity will undoubtedly be one to watch as the 2025 racing season unfolds.
