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.
In Season 2 we are adding the DD2 Class. Also, we are excited to have our finale as part of the Canadian Open, which should bring together a huge group of Canadian Rotax Racers!
