• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Let's race...

VALCOURT, QC, June 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - In 2013, BRP (TSX: DOO) celebrates 30 years of Rotax kart engines by bringing the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals to North America for the first time in its history. This year, the 2013 Grand Finals will take place November 13 to 16, 2013 in New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A.—a world premiere and a new chapter in the 14-year history of the Rotax MAX Challenge. Some 300 participants are expected to attend.

"Our 30-year story is inspired and driven by performance and passion," said Gerd Ohrnberger, vice-president and general manager of BRP's Product Engineering and Manufacturing Operations division. "The development of innovative technologies that offer unique performances is the result."

Rotax engines have made history as the centrepieces of legendary powersports vehicles and set new standards with their high energy efficiency and low emission. These are the engines that are used at the international Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals, a BRP-operated kart racing event in which drivers aged 13 years and older compete and gain racing experience. The Rotax engines that have moved the powersports world for three decades continue to combine emotion and performance in a historically unique way.
