Gunskirchen, Austria – BRP-Rotax, in cooperation with Authorised Rotax Distributor Kart-Shop Italia, announces the first Rotax Electric Kart Cup Italy 2025 as a feature category on the weekend of August 30th - 31st at the Circuito Internazionale di Napoli. Joining the RMC Grand Festival for the youngest racers, which travels to Italy this year to combine with the local southern championship, it’s also just a week before the closing round of the RMC Euro Trophy. This will definitely be a jam-packed fortnight of spectacular racing!
Three Rotax E20 classes will be a highlight on the race program, supporting the annual Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Festival for Micro MAX and Mini MAX, together with RMC Italy (South). Included in the prize pool are RMC Grand Finals tickets to the most amazing Rotax season finale, taking place in the Kingdom of Bahrain from November 29th to December 6th. Stacking up the level of excitement to “boost” your racing, plus title and ticket hopes, the RMC Euro Trophy is scheduled to be in Sarno and crown their champions the next weekend. Two Rotax E-Kart fields will share the grid at the most competitive Rotax series globally.
The Rotax EKC Italy 2025 has limited seats available in each of the E20 Junior, E20 Senior and E20 Masters ‘Arrive & Drive’ categories, set to race on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st.
For anyone interested in a double weekend of this ultimate high-performance experience at the fast 1,670 metre Sarno circuit, there’s twice the opportunity to jump onboard and enjoy the e-Kart ride: the final edition of the RMC Euro Trophy hits the track the following week at the very same venue with E20 Senior and E20 Masters. The Rotax European title-decider guarantees to be a superb show of talent and skill for drivers and spectators alike. There are more RMCGF tickets to be awarded to the E-Kart RMC Euro Trophy winners who steal the show on September 3rd to 7th, as they join the series champions in celebrating their success.
Offering the ideal ‘Arrive & Drive’ concept enables competitors the possibility to embrace the unmatched feeling of driving the Rotax E20 electric kart. The transition from combustion to E-Kart is simple and easy to adapt. Fitted to a Sodikart DD2 chassis also with front brakes, the e-Powertrain delivers incredible performance that remains unrivalled in karting. It has sensational acceleration and drive, with immediate torque and response. Plus, there is a special Boost function that gives you an extra burst of speed for even more strategic racing.
Kart-Shop Italia is the organiser and promoter of the Rotax EKCI 2025. As the Authorised Distributor of Rotax Kart products in Italy, they are located in Desenzano del Garda, close to South Garda Karting, Lonato. “The Rotax E-Kart has already been showcased during our national Rotax MAX Challenge events in the past, as well as the RMC Euro Trophy series, and of course, the RMC Grand Finals held in Italy,” says Reto Carigiet from Kart-Shop Italia. “So now to have the possibility to test drive and race the E20 at the famous circuit in Sarno is very cool! This is perfect for any drivers who want to get behind the wheel of the electric karting concept from Rotax. With three categories and the chance to compete the next weekend at the Euro event for RMCGF tickets to Bahrain, it’s really a unique opportunity.”
