The 21^st edition of the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals took place at the Bahrain International Karting Circuit in Sakhir in the Kingdom of Bahrain from December 11^th to 18^th, 2021. After a long wait since the last RMCGF in Sarno, Italy, BRP-Rotax had several premieres, which excited not only the drivers but also all the participants and followers of the Live Stream.

The welcoming morning breeze in Sakhir not only provided a cooling sensation to the already hot temperatures around the 1.414-km circuit but also brought along the air of heightened anticipation for what was to transpire today, amidst the sands of the Persian Gulf.

The most race wins, the most pole positions, the most fastest laps. Oliver Bearman (16, Great Britain) was the dominant force in the 2022 ADAC Formula 4 season. In a thrilling finale, the young Brit in the Van Amersfoort car emerged triumphant against his closest rival, Tim Tramnitz (17, Hamburg). The next step in his career is predestined, as Bearman recently became a member of the Ferrari Driving Academy.

The 21st edition of the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals (RMCGF) will be hosted at the Bahrain International Karting Circuit (BIKC) in Sakhir. This year, 378 drivers from all over the world are competing for the top of the podium in Micro Max, Mini Max, Rotax Max Junior, Rotax Max Senior, DD2, DD2 Masters and the E-Karting Champion.

The 2021 Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals moved into the Pre-Final stages of the event here in Bahrain, as further excitement lay in store for all the drivers around the challenging and fast-flowing 1.414-km circuit. Not only was the surrounding temperature courtesy of the sunshine beating down from up above just as intense as it has been all week, but the action out on track would again welcome the aura of nighttime and floodlight-covered racing.
