THE CONCEPT

The RMC Grand Festival will be organised every year on different locations. This will allow the RMC Grand Festival to increase the opportunities for even more newcomers to participate within their own region or area, competing in an international field, closer to home.

In addition to the Rotax Festival, the event will also feature races for the coveted Motorsport UK E plate. This will extend to the Rotax Junior and Senior Classes, where the winner in the Senior Class will also win a coveted DD2 Grand Finals ticket, granting them the honour of representing Team UK in Italy in October.

We aim to make this an unforgettable event with a unique programme. On top of this, race-control, CCTV control fuel, parc ferme tyres and livestreaming will be available during the event which is run and promoted by the Motorsport UK British Kart Championship team.

“It gives us great pleasure to announce the annual RMC Grand Festival for Micro MAX and Mini MAX will cross the Channel to make its debut in the United Kingdom this autumn, where a competitive and dynamic nature of karting exists,” says Peter Oelsinger, General Manager BRP-Rotax / Member of the Management Board, Vice President Sales, Marketing RPS-Business & Communications. “We welcome Motorsport UK as event organiser in cooperation with top-ranked Rotax Distributor J.A.G., who contributes immensely to building a brighter future for the sport through their ongoing efforts. The young stars will line up on the grid at Karting North East and Warden Law Kart Club in September, dreaming only of winning and pushing every lap to the limit. Ultimately, we want them to improve their racecraft in the close competition, create great memories and benefit from gaining valuable experience with us.”

“We are thrilled to host the prestigious RMC Grand Festival, a move that not only brings a celebrated Rotax karting competition to the UK, but also significantly enriches our motorsport landscape,” explains Dan Parker, Head of Karting Motorsport UK. “This festival offers young and aspiring Rotax drivers a platform to display their skills against some of Europe’s finest talents, aligning perfectly with Motorsport UK’s mission to continuously develop karting.”
