“The announcement of the RMC Asia Trophy 2023 by Amprex Racing Services, our newly-appointed Rotax distributor in Malaysia and Brunei, together with the cooperation of the consistently growing RMC Thailand, is another great example of the positive development for Rotax racing in the Asian region,” says Peter Oelsinger, General Manager BRP-Rotax / Member of the Management Board, Vice President Sales, Marketing RPS-Business & Communications. “We have confidence that this initiative will continue to build a strong presence for our brand within this market which includes at least twenty countries collectively. The potential is there with the RMCAT to offer more opportunity for our karting community to share their passion and take their racing to another level. Following the success of the first RMC Asia Festival last December in Langkawi, Malaysia, it is most encouraging to see the Asia Zone series now added to the Rotax international race calendar from May. We are looking forward to welcoming the Asian Trophy champions at the RMC Grand Finals in Bahrain!”
