Intrepid will replace CRG as the supplier of the spec chassis for the Senior Rotax class at the 7th annual Rotax World Finals in Portugal in November.

Intrepid will supply a full field of Explorer chassis. We believe Swiss Hutless will continue to supply the Junior Rotax class (with the Diabolik chassis) and Rotax's own RM1 chassis (actually made by Sodi Kart) will be used for the DD2 class.

04/11/06 > Rotax announces East Regional Venue change:

This press release is to announce a change of venue for the 2006 East Grand Regional taking place July 19-22, 2006. The Champ Car Rotax Kart Challenge is proud to announce that Ocala Gran Prix in Ocala, FL will host of this year's prestigious event. Jorge Arellano, owner of Ocala Gran Prix is a huge supporter of the ROTAX Program and Series Director for the North Florida local series.

"It is a perfect fit, explains Joe Ramos Jr. - Program Director for the Champ Car Rotax Kart Challenge. Jorge Arellano really stepped up for the ROTAX program this year in Florida and I'm excited to bring one of the biggest karting events of the year to Ocala. Track support is vital to creating a great event and there isn't a track in the US that offers more support for Rotax than Ocala Gran Prix. With the top drivers from each class qualifying on to our Grand National at Champ Car's Road America event -- the East Grand Regional will prove to be an exciting and memorable event for all that attend."

"Ocala Gran Prix is honored to service this unique group of ROTAX racers. The ROTAX program is something that we at OGP want to be involved with for the long haul", states Matt Anderson, Director of Operations at Ocala Gran Prix. OGP has already demonstrated their large race event capabilities in hosting a very well-run and successful finale to the Florida Winter Tour. As Anderson further states, "However, we feel that our efforts and the longevity of the sport lie in the ROTAX program. We at OGP feel so strongly in the future success of the program we went a step further in our commitment this year by becoming the Series Director of the North Florida local series." Jorge Arellano, founder, owner and CEO of Ocala Gran Prix also states, "I truly believe in this program and will continue to support it to maintain the highest levels of integrity in all aspects."

From the East Regional, the top 15 drivers from each class will qualify to compete in the US Grand National -- September 22-23 in Elkhart Lake, WI at Road America's Briggs & Stratton Motorplex. This partnership at Road America exhibits Champ Car's and Rotax's commitment to have a presence at each organization's events. "Having all three series in competition will provide a one of a kind experience for all involved as the younger drivers can get ideas on how to make that next step in their racing careers and see what it is like to race at the top level of open-wheel racing, while Champ Car and Atlantic owners will be able to see kart talent at its best," states Joe Ramos Jr.
