Rotax Malaysia & Asia Challenge Round 1
Rotax Malaysia & Asia Challenge Round 1
The first round of the Rotax Asia Challenge and Rotax Malaysia Challenge events were held last weekend at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia. Despite the track being used for the series in previous years it was new for everyone - because it is now raced anticlockwise. Some drivers realized that the off-season break and change of direction put their neck muscles to the test, and the scorching weather all weekend added to the physical challenge!
