For its 25th edition, the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals returns to the Bahrain International Circuit Karting, which it has visited twice in the past. The Kingdom of Bahrain will host the premier global Rotax event from 29th November to 6th December 2025.
400 drivers, 60 nations and 8 categories are the highlights of this 25th edition, which will conclude on Saturday, 6th December with the eagerly awaited Finals. The Sakhir circuit offers a 1440 m long, undulating and spectacular track. The competition can be followed on the internet thanks to daily live broadcasts.
The Sodikart Group has been a trusted partner of the Rotax World Finals since 2010. For its 16th year of collaboration with BRP-Rotax as part of the RMCGF, Sodikart will once again supply the chassis for three categories: Senior MAX, E20 Senior and E20 Masters, all on Sodi equipment.
As the event's top category, bringing together the most skilled and ambitious drivers, Senior MAX offers the French manufacturer an ideal showcase to highlight the manufacturing quality of its chassis. All the expertise of the world's leading kart manufacturer is being put to work to meet the demanding specifications of the RMCGF. All Sodikart staff have been mobilised to achieve this goal, from the R&D department to the logisticians, including procurement, production and assembly. Three containers, containing 74 ready-to-drive 2025 Sigma RS3 karts equipped with the latest generation Rotax MAX 125 Evo engines, were shipped to the Persian Gulf in September. For its part, BRP-Rotax manages the E20 electric karts based on the Sodi DD2 chassis.
On site, a team of eight people manages the various aspects of Sodikart's participation: technical support, spare parts sales and customer service. Jean Philippe Guignet, Competition Director at Sodikart, is on hand to coordinate the team and represent the French brand. For the first time in Bahrain, the Sodi shop offers a wide range of items, similar to what is usually available in Europe.
A word from Sodikart's Managing Director, Rémi Niero
"I am looking forward to this unique event, as many have pointed out, which marks my very first World Final. After the success of the 2024 Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals in Italy, we are delighted to continue our long-standing collaboration with BRP-Rotax. Bahrain is a major event for the RMCGF in a region of the world that is very dynamic in karting. For its 25th edition, the Grand Final gives us the opportunity to showcase the quality of our chassis to a wide range of drivers on the track. Having won its second consecutive KZ World Championship title, Sodi is proudly approaching its 16th participation in the biggest Rotax event of the season. Sodikart also makes it a point of honour to demonstrate the efficiency of its customer service throughout the event."
