As a bonus to becoming ASN Canadian National Champion in four of the Rotax Max categories, Rotax Max Challenge Canada elects to invite the Champions in the Rotax Junior, Senior, DD2 and DD2 Masters categories to participate as members of Team Canada at the annual Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals, an ‘Olympics of Karting’ where drivers from nations around the globe compete on one giant stage in equal equipment.
This years event will take place in Portimao, Portugal at the same facility that hosted the 2012 version of the Grand Finals and the same place where Canada had one of its most successful Grand Finals ever, earning three podium appearances including the Rotax DD2 title courtesy of a spirited drive by Ben Cooper, as well as the runner-up position in the Nations Cup.
With the Canadian Championships wrapping up at Mosport this past weekend, RMC Canada issued invitations to Samuel Lupien (Junior), Marco Di Leo (Senior), Tyler Kashak (DD2) and Stuart Clark (DD2 Masters) to join the team that already includes Saskatoon’s Scott Campbell in DD2 Masters.
Four more invitations will be issued in just under a months time at the Eastern Canadian Karting Championship finale in Mont-Tremblant.
