Now in its 16th season, the BNL Karting Series makes an emphatic return to racing, having crowned its champions early last October, as they will be going full-throttle this coming weekend at the “Home of Champions,” Karting Genk for the annual Kick-Off.

The new season has already had a taste of what is in store for the Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy in 2023, following the success of the recent RMCET Winter Cup held in Spain, as the championship prepares to begin its sixth year of international competition.

The first international Rotax race winners have been determined. Last weekend, the RMC Euro Trophy Winter Cup kicked off the new season in Campillos, Spain. Nearly 180 riders went full throttle on the demanding course in Andalusia and delivered exciting racing action at the start of the season.

BRP-Rotax is glad to announce the addition of a new championship to the Rotax racing calendar: the Rotax MAX Challenge Asia Trophy (RMCAT), which will be organized by the Rotax Authorized Distributor for Malaysia and Brunei, Amprex Racing Services (ARS).
