Club100 is now part of the
Rotax Racing Club

What is the Rotax Racing Club?

The Rotax Racing Club is the new global initiative by BRP-Rotax that brings together passionate racers through accessible Arrive & Drive formats. Powered by Rotax MAX engines, each club offers high performance racing without the need to own a kart – making it easy for anyone to experience the thrill of competitive karting in a fun, community driven environment.

Why Rotax Racing Club?

For so many racers around the world, money, time and logistics prevent them from doing the thing that they would love to do the most: racing. Owner-driver racing is simply not an option for the vast majority of people.

The Rotax Racing Club connects passionate racers – from first-timers to future champions – at local circuits across the world. No ownership, no stress – just pure racing fun and community.

What does it mean for us drivers?

For now, expect to see Rotax Racing Club branding on event days and on the website, with more social media content shared online amongst the Rotax Racing Club community. From the start of 2026, the Senior Sprint Championships and all of the Cadet and Junior Championships will be running under the official Rotax Racing Club banner

Further developments will be announced in the coming months.

What is Club100’s involvement?

Since 1993, Club100 has filled the huge gap between rental karting and owner-driver racing. Indeed in that time, more than 20,000 people have raced in Club100 or the BUKC. Since 2019, Club 100 has been running its Arrive & Drive Championships with Rotax 125 MAX engines.

It’s long-standing success and community driven model helped inspire the Rotax Racing Club concept, which builds on Club 100’s legacy. Club100 together with BRP-Rotax is now working together to expand this proven format in a consultancy role, making high-quality, accessible karting available to racers around the world. One of the Spin-offs was created with ex-Club100 racer Phil Peglar who established the first Rotax Racing Club in California.

Additionally JV and Will have been guests at the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals for the last few years helping to spread the word about the Club100 philosophy to BRP-Rotax partners.

Is Club100 now owned by Rotax?

No, Club100 is still wholly owned by JV, Taormina Vigor and Will Tew.

Club100 now has an agreement in place with BRP-Rotax to run championships that fall under the Rotax Racing Club banner going forward.
