Sodikart: champion of the satisfaction index

The Sodi chassis again did not fail to show it’s value during the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals in 2014 at the Valencia circuit in Spain. Partner in the global event for the fifth consecutive year, the biggest worldwide kart manufacturer assured impeccable service as usual. Sodikart gave the 72 drivers in Rotax Max Junior the opportunity to compete in the best conditions driving the high performance Sigma S3 chassis. The technical delivery from Sodi has also been welcomed by many participants.

Preparing the karts used all the well-known skills and sophisticated equipment of the French company at its ultra-modern factory in the Nantes region. The logistics of this type of event holds no secrets for the team and everything was in place on D-Day for the start of the competition. Throughout the meeting, despite the sometimes turbulent races and unfavourable weather conditions during the finals, the rigor and professionalism of Sodikart allowed 72 competitors in the Junior Max category to focus calmly on racing at the event.

“Our organisation is well oiled,” admitted the team manager at the Spanish competition tonight. “The equipment is checked at the factory when it leaves the production unit, and then again at the circuit, before being delivered to the drivers who didn’t encounter any surprises. They received a full frame to which was missing only the seat which they chose from depending on their size. Throughout the week, our team provided advice and assistance to all teams. The partnership with Rotax is of primary importance for Sodikart. We make every effort to ensure that this happens in the best conditions.“

Links are tightening again between Sodikart and Rotax
Year after year, the “Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals” has become the most representative race at the World level, with 319 entries from 58 countries; so it’s a great showcase that allowed Sodikart to enhance its brand image and reputation. The Sigma S3 chassis convinced the drivers who had the chance to discover its extensive capabilities whatever the conditions. Over the 1428 metres of the track in Valencia, the chassis had to deal with a succession of fast sections and tight linkages that are challenging for equipment, and extremely little difference was found among the finalists in the category. A finding due both to the quality of the the famous Rotax Max engine and the expertise of Sodikart!

The Spanish event also provided an opportunity for the French brand to present its entire range for both Racing and Rental to visitors from around the world and meet local distributors in an interesting sporting setting. Again, Sodikart made a strong impression.

The Grand Final 2014 finally crowned the Estonian Juri Vips in Junior Max ahead of the Briton David Wooder after an exciting duel. The Belgian Max Timmermans completed the podium with the drivers not at all embarrassed to have used different equipment from what they used in particular in the Rotax Euro Challenge this season. The French driver Nathan Hédouin managed a superb recovery from 29th to 15th place in the final.

After such a success, it would not be surprising to find Sodi chassis being used by many international drivers in 2015.
