It is with profound sadness that RGMMC shares the news of the passing of its co-founder, Lynn Geidel.

Karting Solutions Group, the US distributor for BRP-Rotax karting products and home of the Race Rotax brand, is confirming a key detail for racers ahead of the 2026 SKUSA SuperNationals: Rotax engines from any country are eligible to compete in Senior MAX and Mini MAX at this year’s event, not just US sealed engines.

Last weekend (August 8–9, 2026), the Rotax MAX Challenge Germany entered the final stretch of the season. For the semi-final, Germany’s largest single-brand karting series travelled to Liedolsheim in Baden. The RMC Germany had last visited the traditional circuit in 2007, and 19 years later it once again proved to be the perfect setting for thrilling Rotax racing. Around 100 drivers battled for the penultimate—and potentially decisive—championship points of the season. The action was not only hot on the track, as temperatures above 30°C also put drivers and equipment to the test.

At the Kristianstad circuit in Sweden, the venue for the fourth and final round of the FIA Karting European Championship, their Tony Kart Racer 401 T dominated the ‘Junior’ final and narrowly missed out on a podium finish in the ‘Senior’ class.
