The first Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals was battled out on the track in 2000.

The Karting event of the year !

It s all ready to welcome no less than 276 drivers, from more than 60 nations, from all over the world, and everybody has worked hard organisers, Rotax Partners… to propose the ideal conditions for an attractive and fair competition. The success formula is clear: An equal performance assured by pre-checked and sealed Rotax engines, a single type of tyres (MOJO) means that the final results only depends on the drivers ability and experience.

For the next days, another important parameter, that will have great influence in the performance and results of all drivers, will be the weather; the Algarve is a very well known holiday region, usually sunny, and with pleasant temperature. However, the rain is predicted to Saturday and Monday, and cloudy days on Sunday and Tuesday, so extra cares should be taken.
