Euro Challenge Competition not Dampened by Stormy Weather
Round 1 of the Rotax Euro Challenge for 2010 returned to the popular “drivers’” circuit of Sologne Karting, Salbris, France last weekend where the weather played a very significant role in the results, but failed to affect the spirit of the highly competitive racing.
At almost 1.5km in length, the rather technical track that’s been a selected venue for the series on a handful of occasions now played host once again for 180 competitors coming from five continents of the globe including several new nations being represented in 31.

Rotax Malaysia & Asia Challenge Round 1
The first round of the Rotax Asia Challenge and Rotax Malaysia Challenge events were held last weekend at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia. Despite the track being used for the series in previous years it was new for everyone – because it is now raced anticlockwise. Some drivers realized that the off-season break and change of direction put their neck muscles to the test, and the scorching weather all weekend added to the physical challenge!
