The U.S. Rotax program has always been a supporter of EKN, and we felt it was time to take the relationship to a higher level. As the Rotax MAX Challenge becomes a larger force in the world of karting, we felt that the increased viewership of EKN followers was key to the growth of Rotax in the United States.”
