No, we are bringing Rotax Back to Ontario for good! This is just the start. Moving forward we intend on growing the brand, involving more tracks and hopefully being able to offer Grand Finals tickets to more classes. 

Rotax Karting is one of the most recognized racing programs globally, and we genuinely believe it offers one of the best engine packages for reliable, cost-effective racing. With their durability—often requiring servicing only after 30+ hours—and the ability to run on pump gas, Rotax engines are among the most economical 2-cycle racing options available.

This racing series is open to anyone with a valid racing license. In our inaugural year, we have chosen Hamilton Karting Complex to host all five events, but this is not an exclusive series. Our plan is to involve more tracks in future years and expand the RMC brand throughout Ontario.
