Welcome to Circuito Internazionale Napoli – RMCGF 2016 – Day 1

Hello and welcome back to the 17th edition of the prestigious Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals (RMCGF), hosted at the internationally acclaimed Circuito Internazionale Napoli. This year marks the 3rd period of the Grand Finals to be held on Italian soil.

360 drivers travelled from 59 countries to convene at the track to begin the week-long journey of battling for the top step of the podium.

Saturday saw the entrants register for the event.
Sunday was the Kart Raffle day, where the competitors where assigned their kart and engine
through a random selection process. After receiving their complete Grand Finals package, the
karts were pushed back to the driver tent, which can hold more than 500 people, where, in the
blistering Napolitan heat, driver and mechanic began working in preparation for their first on-track
day, Monday.

The Welcome Party will be held tonight, conveniently at the track for all drivers to come together
and celebrate the spirit of Rotax karting.

The party also will see the annual Team Contest, with 30 international team entries. Each team
will be judged based on the drivers’ team spirit, the uniformity of their team wear and their overall
passion for their homeland. Starting Monday you can like which team you favor on Facebook,
and the winning team, the one with the most likes on Facebook, along with the jury’s approval,
will be announced on Saturday night at the driver’s party.

Rotax would also like to extend a warm thank you to its chassis partners – Birel ART, IPKarting
(Praga) and Sodikart, as they have worked very hard to contribute to the making of the
17th annual Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals.
