The 5th and final round of the Rotax Max Challenge Indonesia was last weekend at the Sentul International Karting Circuit. Senna SN (Senior), Alroy Syadavirya (Junior), and Handi Hardja (Master) took the overall title in their respective categories. The MicroMax title went to Gezha Sudirman with just 1 point separating the top 3 in the MicroMax standings! The Senior and Masters champions will go to the Rotax Grand Finals in November, while 2nd placed Junior driver Presley Martono also earned his ticket as Syadavirya is not eligible due to his age.
A new track surface which was raced on now for two weekends in a row was tearing up a fair bit thanks to high temperatures and lots of kart on track, creating incredibly slippery conditions off-line and a challenging track to keep up with setup-wise.
