2024 marked the 25th anniversary of the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals on the prestigious Italian circuit of Sarno. It was also the 15th anniversary of the collaboration between BRP-Rotax and Sodikart for the supply of chassis.

For its 25th year, the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals returns to Italy and the Sarno circuit, which it visited in 2019. From 19th to 26th October 2024, the Circuito Internazionale Napoli will host the Rotax World Grand Finals on a revamped track.

Following their excellent results in the FIA Karting European Championship in the Shifter categories, Sodi chassis continued their haul of success on the Portimao circuit in southern Portugal. Anthony Abbasse, who dominated the KZ2 Masters, won the Champions of the Future Shifter 2024 title.

In Italy, the final of the FIA European Karting Championships in the KZ, KZ2 and KZ2 Masters categories ended with a real plebiscite for Sodi chassis, the official team and the teams representing the French brand. Second in the KZ2 final ahead of team-mate Kasper Schormans, Matteo Spirgel is the new European KZ2 Champion. Senna Van Walstijn, who impressed throughout the weekend at the wheel of his Sodi-TM, finished runner-up in the European KZ Championship. A penalty cost Anthony Abbasse the title, runner-up in the European KZ2 Masters Championship. As for the teams, Sodikart leads the KZ Championship and 3rd in KZ2 Masters, while CPB Sport is leader in KZ2.

The long-awaited meeting between the legendary Belgian circuit of Genk and the SWS International Finals exceeded the expectations of both organisers and competitors at the 13th edition of the world's biggest leisure karting event.

The first FIA Karting meeting in the KZ categories began with a true verdict on the Sodi chassis, which took the lead in the three European KZ, KZ2 and KZ2-Masters Championships. On the MotorLand Aragón circuit in Alcañiz, Senna Van Walstijn dominated the KZ Final with the official team.

As part of its long-term presence in international competition, the Sodikart group is giving its Racing Team a new impetus through a refreshed structure, new investments and expanded technical and human resources. For the French company, the aim is to open up new prospects in competition and to bring the benefits of this new dynamic to its Racing range.

The official chassis partners for the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals 2024 have now been confirmed, as BRP-Rotax announces the manufacturers who will support all the qualified competitors with their brand new karts at the annual flagship event.

The 2024 WSK Open Series kicked off in Franciacorta with a large field of 82 drivers in the KZ2 category and a sensational overall result for the Sodikart brand: victory for Senna Van Walstijn, two Sodi chassis on the podium and six in the top 12! The French team, with the support of CPB Sport, provided their drivers with particularly high-performance equipment for this major international event.

It's hard to avoid superlatives when talking about a Rotax Max Challenge Grand Final. The 2023 edition was no exception, with an exceptional welcome and venue in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Regulars were impressed by the phenomenal layout of the Bahrain International Karting Circuit and the numerous night races, while newcomers we're wide-eyed in wonder at the perfectly organised Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals.

As in 2021, the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals is heading for the Middle East for the 23rd edition of this benchmark event, which will take place from 3rd to 9th December at the Bahrain International Karting Circuit.

France's CPB Sport and Sodikart are pleased to announce the deal with young and promising Dutch karter Kasper Schormans (14) for the 2024 season in the 125cc shifting class KZ. This partnership marks an important step in the career of this talented driver, who shone in the Junior Rotax Max category.

From 5th to 8th July 2023, the 12th edition of the SWS International Finals introduced a new destination to the 374 drivers who had qualified throughout the world during the 2022 SWS season. In Slovakia, the races were extremely hotly contested, sometimes even a little too hot in the Sprint categories. The competition was very intense, and the winners were often revealed in the final meters of the Finals. Many positive comments rewarded the efforts of the 3MK Events organising team, who worked hard to satisfy the vast majority of participants.

Sodikart confirmed its position at the highest level of international karting throughout the FIA Karting European Championship in KZ and KZ2. Senna Van Walstijn led the standings when he arrived at the Italian circuit of Sarno, and was immediately up front. Although an unfortunate tyre problem cost him his chances of being crowned champion, the Dutchman fought hard right to the end to claim 3rd place in the European KZ Championship. With the points also scored by Frenchman Emilien Denner, Sodikart finished 3rd in the team standings.

The fourth and final round of the 2023 WSK Super Master Series, which brings together the top international drivers and teams, once again highlighted the performance of the Sodi Racing Team, the French chassis and its drivers. As was the case during the recent FIA Karting European Championship event in Zuera, Emilien Denner and Senna Van Walstijn showed their competitiveness by racing at the front of the field in KZ2 over the three days.

This year, the SWS Final will be split into two. As a sign of the times, in parallel to the "classic" SWS International Finals scheduled in Slovakia in July, Sodikart is organising the first SWS e-Sprint International Final in Sweden. On 28th and 29th April, Gothenburg will welcome the first SWS finalists at the wheel of electric karts on the two GoKart Centralen circuits.

In Spain, in Zuera, the performance of Sodi chassis was certainly on the agenda for the first FIA Karting KZ / KZ2 meeting of the season, with excellent results in both categories. Leader at the end of the heats, winner of the Super Heat and on the Final podium in KZ after a very competitive race, Senna Van Walstijn took the lead of the European Championship. Thanks to the competitiveness of his teammate Emilien Denner, Sodikart is also leading the team ranking.

BRP-Rotax is pleased to announce the Chassis Partners for the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals which will take place at the Bahrain International Karting Circuit in Sakhir, Bahrain from December 2-9, 2023.

With a fine victory in Lonato in KZ2 in the new WSK Promotion series, Senna Van Walstijn confirmed the competitiveness of the Sodi chassis and the expertise of the Sodi Racing Team. Leader at the end of the heats and 5th in the Final, Émilien Denner completed the solid performance from the world's leading manufacturer in the WSK Open Series.
