Record turnout for the 6th RMCIT!

Published on Monday, July 15, 2024

Record turnout for the 6th RMCIT!

Year after year, the Rotax Max Challenge International Trophy confirms its indisputable success. 319 drivers are expected from 16th to 20th July at one of Europe's leading venues: the Le Mans international circuit. Once again this year, 3MK Events, in collaboration with BRP-Rotax, promises an event of the highest standard, with proven quality of organisation, a strong field, intense racing and a rich and coveted prize fund.
 

Five continents, 44 nations and over 300 drivers for an exceptional race
Drivers from all over the world will once again converge on France and this Mecca of motor sports, the Le Mans complex, to compete in one of the most famous karting competitions in the world. The 6th edition of the RMCIT will set a new record for the number of participants, with 319 drivers divided into six categories: Micro Max (8-11 years), Mini Max (10-13 years), Junior Max (12-14 years), Senior Max (from 14 years), Max DD2 (from 15 years) and Max DD2 Masters (from 32 years). Tyre manufacturer Mojo will be the official tyre supplier throughout the event.
 

An exceptional prize fund, as every year
In addition to event partners such as 321 Perform, Cambox, ITAKAshop and TKF, RMCIT-badged products will be on sale in the paddock shop. A major prize draw will take place after Friday evening. The best drivers will also be rewarded at the podium ceremony, where six tickets will be awarded for the 2024 Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals.
 

A competitive, sporting and celebratory atmosphere
Created some 25 years ago, the Rotax Max Challenge has built its reputation on products combining performance, reliability and fairness, quickly complemented by quality events such as the RMCIT, which will be able to rely on the ASK ACO and the legendary Le Mans track. To guarantee fairness, 3MK Events will use a large number of cameras installed throughout the circuit, race control staff experienced in major international events and rigorous officials. The programme will include a photo shoot and the ever-popular drivers' parade on Friday evening, followed by a cocktail reception with DJ entertainment. The races can be followed via live timing and streaming.
