Press Release by: Rotax Max Challenge Canada.
On the eve of the vacations for many competitors, here’s what you need to know about the 2025 edition of the Canadian Open, which takes place from August 29 to 31 at SH Karting in Mont-St-Hilaire, QC. The event is also the final for the RMC Québec and RMC Ontario championships.
Concept: drivers will take part in practices, qualifying, a super pole (for some), three qualifying heats, a pre-final and a final, with longer races than at the Coupe de Montréal. Off-track activities and a Saturday evening dinner will enhance the event.
Categories on the program: The event will be dedicated to Rotax categories only. Categories include Micro-Mini, MAX Junior, MAX Senior, MAX DD2, DD2 Masters and MAX Masters.
Licenses: The event is a National event and requires a national license for all drivers, with the exception of the MAX Masters category, where a club or regional license is required. If you don’t already have your national license, don’t wait until the last minute and apply for an upgrade. (www.asncanada.ca/licensing-licenses).
