Important information for competitors

Please read carefully all the sporting and technical regulations as they have changed. DAMC Karting Championship 2011/2012 and Rotax Max Challenge are using the same template of sporting rules, however due to the specifics of each track, there will be small differences. We strongly advise you to read both regulation in order to identify the differences.
