2024 Round 4 RMC Asia Trophy — Bira

Antonio Racelis driving his Mini Max kart at Bira

After my successful weekend at Clark International Speedway for the Tillotson T4 Cup Philippine Series, I traveled to Bira Circuit in Chonburi, Thailand, for the Rotax Max Challenge. This race brought a new challenge for me as BRacing Development and Stratos Motorsports moved me up from Micro Max to the Mini Max Rookie category, and I drove a Mini Max engine for the first time just one day before the race.

It was my first time racing at Bira Circuit, and most of my competitors were local drivers with much more experience on the track. Although I finished 8th in the Mini Max Rookie class, I was able to stay close to the race pace and continued pushing until the checkered flag.

More than the result, I was happy to gain my first experience with the Mini Max engine and learn a new circuit. I also made new friends and enjoyed the experience with the great organizers and other racers. This race reminded me that every new challenge is an opportunity to learn, improve, and become a better driver. I hope to return to Bira Circuit and race there again someday.
