Another beautiful day in Al Ain, UAE. The morning began again with perfect sunshine and warm, still comfortable temperatures. The regular outfit at the track is shorts and flip flops, some may even feel sorry for the drivers who have to put on their gear at 30+ degrees. The key to success will be to take good care of your body, meaning that they will drink a lot of water, eat healthy and get some rest after a hard day at the track.

Tyre Changing Competition

So, here we go. Finally we have racing action at the track. Before everybody got focused on racing, most of the talk this morning was of the activities at the welcoming party last night. Usually everybody is so focused on the upcoming days that the welcoming party is a rather silent event compared to the final party. However, last night we counted more than 700  guests at the beautiful outside location of the Al Ain Hilton. Everybody was having a good time and many were catching up with people they haven´t seen in a long time. It is just one  of those rare occasions when friends from all over the world have the chance to see each other, no matter how far they are apart usually.

Karts lined up ready for raffleWelcome to the 12th edition of the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals at Al Ain. An event that has been growing from a spectacular number of 252 drivers at La Conca, to an even more incredible 264 in 2011. The drivers have finally arrived from around 60 different countries and are more than eager to compete with the best of the world. A recent proof of how competitive the Max Challenge has become is Kevin Korjus’ F1 test drive with Renault. In 2007 Kevin has won the Junior category at the Grand Finals at the exact same place they are being held this year. We wish Kevin all the best for his upcoming challenges and we are sure there is more to come from other drivers who are part of the Rotax Max community.
