The Pan American Rotax Max Challenge is the next level of high performance kart racing for competitors seeking the opportunity to race against an international field of Rotax drivers and earn a place at the 2010 World Finals.
The launch of this elite series is considered the next step above the US Rotax Max Challenge for drivers seeking a new level of competing spirit and the chance to test their race skills against the best from South, Central and North America.
Series competitors will benefit from the back to back race weekends where they can earn points on both Saturday and Sunday.This long waited series will start its inaugural season in April at MSR Houston, located in Angleton, Texas 30 minutes south of Houston. This is a true international series, patterned after the very successful Rotax Euro Challenge. As a matter of fact, drivers from all nations are welcome to attend and future plans are for Pan American Series races to be held in Canada, Mexico and South American countries as the program grows. Discussions for a 2011 date in Canada are already underway.
The four events include a Friday official practice, Saturday-Sunday format of Qualifying, Pre-Final and Final each day. One set of tires is allowed each race day for Junior and Senior classes. Mini Max and Micro Max will use the same tires for both days. Drivers will pick up their tires each morning for races that day.
Seven classes will compete at each event. The new class this year is a dedicated DD 2 Masters (415lbs). This class will also compete at the 2010 Rotax Grand Finals for the first time.
Each weekend competitors will be able to earn points for finishes in the Pre-Final and Final of each day. The top five qualifiers will also earn points each day.
