Set for October 15-19, 2014, the Rotax Pan American Challenge will take place at the picturesque GoPro Motorplex facility in the heart of NASCAR country in Mooresville, North Carolina. With the event fast approaching, the MAXSpeed Group and MAXSpeed Entertainment would like to remind teams and competitors about some key and important information.
“We are working extremely hard to ensure that all teams and competitors receive the proper information well in advance of the Rotax Pan American Challenge,” explained MAXSpeed Group’s Josh Smith. “Please find several new pieces of information below as well as some reminders.”
Registration
Online registration for the Rotax Pan American Challenge can be found HERE. Online registration will close on October 7, 2014.
*Unofficial practice will be organized by the GoPro Motorplex facility and is not included in online registration.
Registrations are coming in at a steady pace and several of North America’s top teams and drivers have already thrown their hat into the mix. Also, with a recent trip by key MAXSpeed personnel to the Rotax Euro Max event in Salbris, France, several European competitors are planning to make the trek to North American soil and vie for tickets to the 2014 and 2015 Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals.
Track and Facility Info
With the Rotax Pan American Challenge taking place October 15-19, the GoPro Motorplex facility and MAXSpeed Entertainment will not allow any registered competitors or teams to test on Monday, October 13 and Tuesday, October 14. Any competitor caught doing so will not be allowed to participate on the official event days. Competitors will be allowed to utilize the rental karts, and mechanics will be allowed to work on drivers who do not plan on competing in the Rotax Pan American Challenge.
October 10-12 is the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. If you plan to attend the GoPro facility to test prior to the October 13 testing ban, please be advised that the track will be busy with rental karts and fans flooding the area. Also, please be sure to book your hotel rooms well in advance.
Team and competitor parking will begin on Monday, October 13 and end on Tuesday, October 14. If you plan on testing before these dates, please do not intend to fully setup your paddock space to ensure everyone is placed properly for the event.
