Rotax Max Euro Challenge setting new record

From 2nd to 6th of April the ROTAX MAX Euro Challenge kicks off its racing season 2014, promising new benchmarks in every way. After the first big rehearsal, the ROTAX Winter Cup at Campillos in February, the European ROTAX elite is ready to head for the first points on the 1.360 metres long track of Genk (BEL).

RGMMC Establishment, hosting the ROTAX Euro Challenge for eleven years now, made his mark and stands for most experienced standards and professional processes in every way. And the participants appreciate the organiser’s effort. Over 210 drivers from 36 countries representing every continent entered the opening round. That means another increase setting a new incredible record for the three categories of junior, senior and DD2 plus the special classification for the DD2 Masters. But not only the drivers are afforded with a professional surrounding at the Euro Challenge, even the manufacturers are attracted more and more. So Birel, CRG, ART GP, Sodikart, Tony Kart and Praga are only a few companies, which reinforce their official commitment to the international arena of ROTAX.

“For the past eight years the Euro has continued to gain momentum with each season seeing an increase in drivers with more countries than ever participating from around the world. This opening round see’s yet again another record breaking entry with both the junior and senior classes being over-subscribed. The feedback has been really encouraging and I am very proud of our achievement, which is based on advancement, development and progress. The RGMMC ROTAX Winter Cup has already given us a taste of what we can expect and we are looking forward to some thrilling racing” quotes Roland Geidel, RGMMC CEO whose championship schedule is well prepared: The tour starts with the opening round in Genk (BEL) from 2nd to 6th of April, followed by the second stop on the Italian track “7 Laghi” in Castelletto (IT) from 26th May to 1st of June. The high-speed track of Zuera in Spain will mark the second halftime of the season from 14th to 20th of July, before Salbris (FRA) will host the final round from 1st to 7th of September.

Equally the ROTAX MAX Euro Challenge will face some innovations in 2014: The whole new timing system X2 from MYLAPS, now directly run by RGMMC Timing, will be a standard feature for all races. Alongside the race control system is upgraded to 30 cameras now, all being equipped with high definition. That does not only bring more fairness to the racing but provides thousands of fans and followers of the live TV-stream (www.rgmmcmedia.com) with more detailed action. Last but not least the official website www.rotaxmaxeurochallenge.com has finally been re-launched, offering even more information to the worldwide community.
