COMPKART US Trophy Final Report

COMPKART US Trophy Final Report

August 30, 2024

The Rotax US Trophy Final event kicked August 21, 2024 at New Castle Motorsprots Park just outside Indianapolis, Indiana (USA).  The NCMP facility offered its customary challenge of balancing high-speed chassis balance with long straights and tight harpin creating the ultimate challenge of balance and power. The event hosted all the normal Rotax categories including with RMC Grand Final tickets awarded to all category winners.

COMPKART entered the following drivers in its official team:

Oliver Hodgson – Sr MAX
Cooper O’Clair- Sr MAX
Quinten Lu – Sr MAX

Conner Lypka – Micro MAX

Derek Wargo – Jr MAX

Ryusei Sawada – Jr MAX

Itski Hayashi- Mini MAX

The event started well with Thursday through Friday being open to customary open testing which provided strong competition at the front of each category with multiple RMC GF qualified drivers in attendance.   New for the weekend was the addition of the EXGEL Driver Exchange drivers, whereby the COMPKART Factory team provided service for three very talented drivers to compete in Mini MAX, Jr MAX and Sr MAX.  Welcoming the pilots provided a great opportunity to showcase the American and Asian cultures while being able to provide top-level racing for their first experiences in the United states.

“The event was rewarding in a lot of ways especially with the EXGEL drivers being apart of our operation.  Of course the competition was fierce as it always is with so much on the line and we were really proud of all the team members efforts. Winning the three-peat with Oliver was a great accomplishment as was the standout performances from Ryusei Sawada and Quinten Lu. In addition we saw great speed and performance from O’Clair and Wargo, which we will look to continue forward throughout the rest of this year.” — Justin Stefani
