What a weekend it was at the SH Karting!
The 2025 RMC Canadian Open had just about everything one could expect in a championship weekend. Mixed weather with cool temps and rain throughout the week, followed by beautiful sunshine for championship Sunday.
On track, the action was intense. The racers delivered with wheel-to-wheel action every time they took to the circuit, regardless of the conditions. SH Karting, a new circuit to the National calendar this season, was the perfect host with an exciting circuit, beautiful facilities and a refreshing new location the event needed.
Of course, the racing didn’t quite end after the final checkered flags, but that has become the norm in races with one of the best prizes in karting on the line. But in the end, ten drivers were crowned champions and earned the opportunity to join Team Canada at the upcoming Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals in Bahrain.
These drivers will represent the country proudly at the world’s premier international invitational, which provides equal opportunities for every driver to become a world champion.
The RMC Quebec Championship awarded four tickets, while the RMC Ontario Championship awarded three. Additionally, the Canadian Open had three extra tickets to award.
