The reputation BRP-Rotax has built over decades of manufacturing both inside and outside the karting industry speaks for itself.

“Rotax is undoubtedly one of the best engine options that exists in the competition of karts worldwide,” said Ronny Albrecht, Managing Director at RTX USA Group. “We want to continue demonstrating the philosophy of parity and durability that the parent company has, which is why the races during the next two years will be the pillar to show the parity in our engines through our Raffle Program, and that you can run at reasonable prices during a weekend with many hours of racing with an excellent starting grid.”

“We have analyzed the current market and without a doubt we are optimistic with the results we will obtain at the end of 2020 through our dedications and effects to serve the North American market.” - RTX USA Group

Teams, drivers, and the general public who love speed are invited to participate in the first major Rotax MAX event of the year at the Speedsportz Racing park circuit in the City of Houston where RTX USA Group will present prizes for the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Final that will be held in Italy and awards for participation in the Rotax International Trophy in the city of Le Mans, France.

“We will bring to France a USA team with many excellent drivers to obtain further entries for the RMCGF,” said Jean-Pierre Albrecht, Marketing Coordinator for the event. “We will bring a much stronger USA team to the GF in Italy. Let's make it happen!”
