The opening round of the 2021 Rotax Nordic Challenge was held in Aravete

The opening round of the 2021 Rotax Nordic Challenge is now behind us! 

We were delighted to see talented drivers from 8 different countries make their way to Aravete and race for a ticket to the 2021 Rotax Grand Finals.

Track conditions were excellent and drivers were smashing track records thanks to the high amount of grip on the circuit.
But although the laptimes were faster than ever, the rubbered-in track proved to be a challenge for many. Such high grip levels combined with the scorching heat pushed even the most experienced drivers to their physical limit.
From the rising stars in Micromax all the way to the seasoned veterans in DD2 Masters, the racing was close and exciting in all classes. This time, the drivers who took the podium steps were:

1. Nikita Ljubimov (EST)
2. Majus Mazinas (LT)
