On Sunday a group of young local drivers (8 to 10 year old) gave a demonstration run on Genk\'s exciting kart track and grabbed the attention of spectators and competitors alike. These youngsters represent the next generation of karters to join the ROTAX MAX CHALLENGE.

The show race was completed with a raffle. The prizes were one junior karting outfit and one entry pass for the 2008 season. In addition, every participating kid was given a BRP-Rotax T-shirt and cap. They will never forget the day where they could showcase their skills and potential to a big audience.
