Race To Rotax Partners

Scholarship Partners

The companies and people backing a young driver with a fully paid route into a 2027 campaign in The Kart Championship, in Junior Primo or Junior Rotax.

Backing The Next Rotax Driver.

The Race to Rotax Scholarship is only possible because committed partners are helping turn opportunity into a complete race package: equipment, engine support, championship entry, test days, tyres, mechanic support and coaching.

Every partner involved is part of the story. The selection journey will be transparent, filmed where appropriate, and designed to show the value sponsors bring to a young driver's development.
