After two days of sporting checks for the drivers, the RMC Grand Finals 2025 officially kicked off today with one of the most iconic moments: the unveiling of all 394 brand-new karts lined up in a perfect formation. An impressive display prepared by the Rotax Teams and the Chassis Partners during last night – every kart stood perfectly aligned, showcasing the dedication behind the scenes.
 

After the Welcome Briefing by the Rotax Team and their Officials on the podium the traditional kart raffle started: Under perfect Bahraini conditions – 26°C, bright sunshine, and a warm desert breeze - drivers from Micro MAX up to DD2 Masters, along with both E20 electric classes, collected their karts and began preparing them for tomorrow’s first on-track action in the non-qualifying practice sessions.

This afternoon delivered another highlight: an exhilarating aerobatic airshow by Red Bull pilot Luke Czepiela, showcasing the Cubcrafters Carbon Cub UL powered by the Rotax 916iS aircraft engine.
 

The day concluded with the official Drivers presentation on the podium, followed by a walk to the Formula 1 Paddock, where the Welcome Party is now in full swing.
 

The RMC Grand Finals are officially underway – and we’ll be back with more tomorrow!
