A few tips to help you get started in Rotax Max Challenge:

Getting Started is easy with Rotax Max power!1. If you don't have your Rotax kart and gear yet, visit a dealer near you!

2. Check our listings, ask your dealer, or search the web for a local karting track racing school. This is the best environment to learn and practice the fundamentals of racing and build your confidence behind the wheel. We recommend a 4 hour (half day) school to get started.

3. Apply for your Rotax Membership by CLICKING HERE. In addition to your license to race, we'll send you some valuable technical information about your kart, rules that apply to the Rmax Challenge, some stickers and we will keep you in the loop about National Events.

4. Find a scheduled R-Max Challenge Race in your area. Attend the event as a spectator, but don't hesitate to introduce yourself to the other Rotax drivers and ask questions. Remember, they were new to the sport once upon a time.

5. Attend a lapping day at your local track with a friend or family member who can lend a hand. In between sessions, observe how others drive the track. Pick out the fast ones by timing them and then apply what you've learned to your driving. Try to partner with other Rotax drivers so you can compare notes.

6. Go Racing! Show up early and familiarize yourself with the schedule of events for the day or weekend. Make sure your equipment is in order and take the time to go through pre-tech.
