Given the importance of the result, it seems right to focus on him: Alex Irlando, 16 year old driver from Italy, takes the Senior crown after a perfect, careful, impeccable final, one of substance. An ending that capped an equally exciting weekend, which would have been in itself remarkable, even without the final victory.
And if the tone might seem slightly over-emphatic, it can not be otherwise, since Alex is the first Italian driver to achieve this important goal. Alex leaves a mark in the history of the sport for...

The Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Golden Trophy has succeeded yet again in keeping the race fans on the edge of their seats, as the drivers battled it out for every position and ultimately, the top place on the podium.

The initial race day was a mix of different winners and several showing their dominance on all counts during Saturday’s qualifying heats at Karting Genk. 24 races kept the drivers busy on track lapping the 1,360-metre circuit as they fought for positions to make the final cut. Only the 2-speed DD2 classes with single grid entries would avoid the second chance race. The battle for the Golden Trophy is about to get very serious as the finals play out Sunday.
Mini MAX – Six drivers lead the way to the chequered flag in the Mini category with Jacob Ashcroft ranked P1 after all top three results and winning the third heat. Nikita Nikishov without any...

Just to keep things interesting, the scattered rain falling over parts of Europe arrived late Friday afternoon to spice up the official timed practice at the Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Golden Trophy. After Mini MAX had finished their sessions, the Juniors were not so lucky, split by more than 10 seconds between the faster and slower groups, as the Karting Genk circuit soaked up the water and mixed up the results. By the end of the program, the track was already drying out considerably as the DD2 Masters reached the five-minute mark.
With the grids now determined for all 24 of Saturday’s qualifying heats, the competition is incredibly close at the top of the timesheets. The youngest in the five Rotax categories is the Mini...

The closing edition of the Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy let the driver talent shine in the drenching rainy conditions during the event on September 16 - 18 at Wackersdorf, Germany. Bringing the four-round 2022 series to a close, the wintery wet weather proved to be an absolute game-changer in the results, ultimately impacting the championship standings to a degree as well. The RMC Euro Trophy titles were awarded to Great Britain’s Ethan Jeff-Hall (Junior MAX), Sean Butcher (Senior MAX) and Mark Kimber (DD2), plus Germany’s Denis Thum (DD2 Masters).
The racing was consistently close amongst the field in the four classes, although the front-runners and their quickest rivals excelled with some impressive skills in such challenging conditions....
