When we asked one of the most “seasoned” Rotax competitors in the modern era to share his first experience racing the Rotax electric kart, we never knew quite what to expect. Not only was he excited, but increasingly interested and surprised by the E20. 

Kyle Lawrence has not only been a competitor at the RMC Grand Finals with Team South Africa during his successful racing career, but in 2024 he joined the livestream media team in Italy. He is now focussed on helping to develop the new generation of karters at home. Before he left Sarno, Kyle took the chance to put the Rotax E20 through its paces on track.

Race control, marshalls at the track, marshalls at the parc fermé, scrutineers and many more.

After clinching the Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy, Luca secured his ticket to the RMC Grand Finals in Portimão, Portugal. There, too, the Kart-Magazin.de reporter was among the top drivers, narrowly missing out on overall victory in the closing moments of the final.
